Companies Acts have been around for the last 150 years, and are designed to set the framework in which companies with limited liability must work.

The Companies Act 2006 received Royal Assent on 8th November 2006 and effectively replaced existing company legislation by re-writing, updating and modernising company law.

The changes in the Act will be implemented in a number of phases and complete by October 2009. Full details of implementations.
