Company Incorporation Authoriser

Incorporation
1

Hello, we are improving our company submission logic and wondered about the options for element “Authoriser”. As I understand, these are the supported options:

LLP - Member or Solicitor
Others - Agent, Solicitor or Subscribers

From these, we are able to use Agent and Solicitor without any issue, what are the use cases and requirements for using Member or Subscribers? We tried to submit LLP with Member Authoriser Corporate, but got stuck on error:

Cannot provide person authorising details after the commencement date (9999)

Hi,

I will look into this for you.

Many apologies for the delay - I suspect the issue is here:

   <Corporate>
  <Forename>John</Forename>
  <Surname>Smith</Surname>
  <CorporateName>company ltd</CorporateName>

In line with the Consent to Act legislation, you no longer need to use a natural person to authorise a corporate appointment - as such, the following are not required:
Forename>John</Forename

Surname>Smith</Surname
