This article explains whether Annual General Meeting (AGM) minutes need to be filed at Companies House, and what you should do with them instead.

In most cases, private limited companies are not required to hold an AGM at all, and where minutes of a general meeting (AGM or otherwise) are produced, they are not filed with Companies House. Minutes are an internal company record.

1. Minutes of general meetings and board meetings should be kept in your company's statutory records (minute book), not submitted to Companies House.
2. In Inform Direct, you can store minutes and other governance documents in the Document Library against the relevant company.
3. Certain specific resolutions passed at a general meeting (for example special resolutions affecting share capital or the articles) do need to be filed — usually the resolution itself, not the meeting minutes, using the relevant Companies House form.
4. If in doubt about whether a particular resolution requires filing, check the resolution type against Companies House's filing requirements before relying on general guidance.

Note: this is general guidance — company law requirements can vary by company type and constitution, so seek professional advice for your specific circumstances.
