The CC04 form is the official Companies House document for reporting a change in a company's objects. Company objects define the specific purposes for which a company was established. Under Section 31 of the Companies Act 2006, companies with restricted objects in their articles must file this form whenever they add, remove, or alter those objects.
The CC04 form requires the company number and full company name, entered in typescript or bold black capitals. Along with the completed form, companies must attach a copy of the amending resolution and the revised articles of association. Both documents must be submitted together within 15 days of the resolution date.
The following individuals may sign the CC04 form on behalf of the company: a director, company secretary, authorized person, liquidator, administrator, or administrative receiver. The person signing must be authorized to act on behalf of the company at the time of submission.
Changes to a company's objects do not take effect immediately. They become legally effective only once they are entered on the Companies House register. This makes prompt and accurate filing essential. Late or incomplete submissions may result in the change not being recognized by Companies House.
Yes. The completed CC04 form becomes part of the public register held by Companies House. This record is available for inspection by any member of the public. Accuracy in every field is therefore critical, as errors in a public record can mislead third parties and create legal complications for your company.
Providing contact details on the form is optional but recommended. If Companies House has queries about your submission, having a contact name and phone number speeds up resolution. You can file the CC04 form by post to Companies House in Cardiff, or submit it online through the Companies House web filing service.
