How do I remove a director properly?
Check who appoints and who may remove, give proper notice of the meeting, record the resolution, and then update the registered details and bank mandates. We prepare the notice and resolution so it holds up.
What if I am the director being removed?
Test the process: authority of the body, notice, quorum and majority, and the stated reasons. Check your service agreement and any compensation. Take stock of company documents you are entitled to and avoid removing anything you are not.
What practical issues follow?
Bank signatory changes, the licence manager role, visa sponsorship and handover of records. Plan these before the vote. See mismanagement claims if the removal is for cause.
