An Introduction to Registering Charges at Companies House

Introduction

If you are new to advising limited companies and their secured lenders this webinar will explain the regime for registration of charges at Companies House.

Knowing the rules is crucial and the categories of registrable charge are wider than ever before. The key points, and important details, are all covered.
