Section 94: Option for companies to keep information on central register

626.The Companies Act 2006 (“CA 2006”) requires companies to keep and maintain private registers containing the details of directors, directors’ residential addresses, members and secretaries.

Equivalent provisions in relation to the register of people with significant control are in Schedule 3.
