Minutes of First Board Meeting

It is a regulatory requirement of every company formed in the UK, to have the minutes of the first board meeting (and every board meeting that follows) documented and retained.

How long do you need to keep the Minutes of Board Meetings?

It is a legal requirement to keep the minutes of your all Board Meetings for at least 10 years after the date of the board meeting.

It is recommended that the first board meeting takes place within 30 days of the incorporation of your UK Company.

    Your First Board Meeting: Points that should be covered

    It is usually required that a company has at least 4 board meetings per year or 1 per financial quarter.

    However, the First Board Meeting is an important one, as it sets out the foundations of the company and covers the important actions that will need to be taken for the company to proceed within the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction within which it is governed as well as it’s own Company Constitution.

    • Date, Time and Location of meeting
    • Names of all directors who are present
    • Names of directors who are absent and reasons why they were absent.
    • Who the  appointed Chairman of the First Board Meeting is
    • It should be confirmed that the Quorum required by your Articles of Association has been obtained, so the meeting is valid and recognised as a Board Meeting.
