About SCRIPTURE UNION

Company type and jurisdiction

SCRIPTURE UNION is a private company limited by guarantee. It has no shares: its members agree to pay a fixed amount, often £1, if it is wound up. This structure is typical of charities, clubs, trade bodies and social enterprises. Its company number 00039828 shows it was registered in England and Wales, so its records are kept by Companies House in Cardiff. It has been on the register for 133 years.

What SCRIPTURE UNION does

On the public register, SCRIPTURE UNION lists 3 activities using the UK Standard Industrial Classification (SIC 2007): book publishing (58110); other publishing activities (58190); activities of religious organizations (94910). This places it in the information and communication section of the economy. SIC codes describe what a company says it does; they are not a licence and are not checked by Companies House. See other companies with the same SIC code.

Where SCRIPTURE UNION is registered

Its registered office is in Milton Keynes (postcode district MK15). The registered office is the official address for letters from Companies House, HMRC and the courts. It must be in the same UK jurisdiction where the company was registered, but it does not have to be where the business trades: many companies use their accountant's or a formation agent's address.

A company that does not file a confirmation statement can be struck off the register.
