Below is a step by step guide that will walk you through the renewal process to ensure you select the membership plan that is right for your company:
Step One
Does your company, or a Director of your company, own a majority shareholding in a UK Public Service Broadcaster?
Or
Does any UK Public Service Broadcaster own a majority shareholding in your company?
If the answer to either of the above is yes, then please go to Step Five.
If the answer to the above is both no, please go to Step Two.
Step Two
Our membership fees are based on company turnover – and in order to be fair and transparent, we use the turnover figure as per the Income Statement of your most recent set of accounts filed at Companies House.
Therefore, before you start this process, you will need to obtain a copy of these accounts.
In the case of companies applying for Group Membership – you will either need the consolidated accounts of the group if prepared, or a set of accounts for each company within the group to calculate the consolidated turnover.
If you are still in your first year of trading and have not yet filed accounts – then you can go straight to Step Three.
If you have previously filed accounts at Companies House – please take a copy of the Income Statement for the most recent year and check the turnover figure.
If your turnover is under £200,000 – please go to Step Three.
If your turnover is above £200,000 - please go to Step Four
If your turnover is above £500,000 - please go to Step Four
