These reforms will help encourage enterprise and entrepreneurship, as prospective directors will have greater confidence that their personal information will be safeguarded should they decide to start a company or take up an appointment as a director. The instrument also removes the requirement for certain community interest company documents and statements of solvency to be signed. This will allow for a wider range of authentication methods, such as a printed name, which will help reduce the number of signatures on the register; in turn, this will reduce the risk of identity theft and other fraud.
