    recovering files from tsoHost

    The problem arose because they shut down the free webhosting plan I was using. I'd guess that they're doing that more generally.

    recovering files from tsoHost

    @Darren_Ssc: thanks - the plain Googling site: was a good idea. @fisicx: tsoHost have let me back in to retrieve the files, so success.

    recovering files from tsoHost

    I've checked wayback machine, without success. @fisicx: the tsoHost e-mail's instructions were oblique - "If you still need a hosting package, you can buy a new one from tsoHost". While there's no question that I didn't act on this, tsoHost's "don't panic"/"if you still need..." e-mail was...

    recovering files from tsoHost

    In mid-April, I received an e-mail from tsoHost saying that my free hosting package would be closed down in mid-May: "don't panic", the e-mail said in large letters. It did not indicate what would happen when the hosting packages would end, and - therefore - that I needed to buy a hosting...

    minority director: options to prevent company's collapse?

    @Mr D : I'm hoping - if we can stave off the current crisis - we then have time to address the lesser issues. @Bsk : if you can afford a lawyer, you may find it a good investment - the legal process can be hard to navigate without a lawyer: non-lawyers may not know what to do, may not be taken...

    minority director: options to prevent company's collapse?

    Thank you for all your replies. To answer some questions first: I don't see buyout as viable, partly given the history of conflict and the tight deadline I don't think we have a Shareholder's Agreement the company exists to manage the building in which we have flats I want to avoid...

    minority director: options to prevent company's collapse?

    I'm a minority director and shareholder in a property management company whose management is dysfunctional. As a result of our failure to address fairly simple issues, we risk both bankruptcy and being struck off Companies' House's register. Do I, as a minority director, have options beyond...

    how far in advance of AGM should annual accounts be sent?

    Our company has Articles of Association based on the Table A model articles. We are private. These require that our annual accounts be approved at a general meeting, not just a board meeting. The notice requirements for a general meeting (from Companies Act 2006 and Table A) are 21 days; the...

    ordinary v special resolution: MemArt v Companies Act 2006?

    Thanks Bill. I'm seeking approval from members outside of a meeting. What's the reasoning behind that giving the resolution a lower majority requirement? I'm concerned that this position is vulnerable to the argument that CA 2006 treats resolutions as resolutions first and foremost...

    ordinary v special resolution: MemArt v Companies Act 2006?

    Thanks Bill. I'm still confused: on a strict reading, our MemArt don't restrict written resolutions: making resolutions at general meetings "special" by default is irrelevant to written resolutions. the CA 2006 can be read to support this view: it provides detailed regulations for written...

    ordinary v special resolution: MemArt v Companies Act 2006?

    I'm circulating a written resolution to appoint an agent for our company. Our company was incorporated in 2002, incorporating the 1985 Table A model articles. Our MemArt state that: “All business shall be deemed special that is transacted at an extraordinary general meeting, and also all that...

    small startup wants to issue shares

    We are a small startup with two founders, each owning one share. We currently only make losses: we have no employees, customers, products, revenue or external investors. We adopted the model Articles on incorporation. As others have volunteered their time and expertise, we want to find an...

    shareholder register & accounting for paid up share capital

    Thank you @Scalloway - I've just seen that my losses were - appropriately - rendered as sad emojis, above. Now to see whether the HMRC accepts sad emojis...

    shareholder register & accounting for paid up share capital

    Thanks @Highland Spring, @Adam93 and @Scalloway. I've tried to implement the £1 share capital and £499 directors' loan below, with: one share for each of the two directors (£1 each); £500 contributed x 2 directors; £900 in total expenses. Does the below look right? If not, what corrections...
