The register of members is the definitive statement and prima facie evidence of the shareholders of a UK company, the number and class of shares they hold and when they acquired those shares. Every UK private limited company is required to maintain a register of members. Failure to keep this register is a criminal offence committed by the company and every officer of the company who is in default.
A company’s register of members should be retained for inspection at its registered office or at a single alternative inspection location located in the same part of the UK as the company’s registered office.
