Folio twoWhy the holder is kept apart from the studios
HAVENPORT STUDIO LTD was incorporated on 18 August 2026 and entered on the register at Companies House for England and Wales under number 17407555, its activity recorded there under SIC code 64209, activities of other holding companies. That description is the whole of the description: the company holds interests in creative-studio trading entities and administers what those entities hold in common.
A commission belongs to the entity that accepted it. The brief, the contract, the delivery, the invoice and the money for it are that entity’s, and they appear in that entity’s books under that entity’s own number. None of them passes through this company. What is recorded here is the holding itself, the overhead that cannot sensibly be divided at the point it is incurred, and the paper that follows from both.
Keeping the two apart is a bookkeeping convenience before it is anything else: one set of books answers for the trade, a second for the ownership and the shared cost. A reader looking for work should go to the entity that made it.
Words used here: an entity is a company in which an interest is held; the holder is this company; a folio is a numbered page of a register. Folio numbers run on across all five leaves, so a reference points somewhere.

Folio threeThe ruling of the register of interests
The register of interests held is the first book the holder keeps. Set out below is its ruling: the columns the book carries, and what each is for. The entries are kept at the registered office and are not published here — a register is not a brochure.
Two disciplines govern the book. Nothing is entered without a date and a reference to the document it rests on. Nothing is erased: a correction is a new line, dated the day the error was found, citing the line it corrects.
Col.Column headingWhat the column carries
- 01 Date of entry The day the line is written, which is not always the day the thing happened.
- 02 Entity The company in which the interest is held, written exactly as registered.
- 03 Its number Its own registered number, so the name is checked against a register and not against memory.
- 04 Interest held The class of share or other interest, and its nominal value.
- 05 Acquired The date, and the instrument that transferred it.
- 06 How held Directly or through a nominee, and in whose name the certificate stands.
- 07 Disposed The date of any disposal. Ruled and empty while there has been none.
- 08 Folio Where the signed original sits, so the line can be proved.
Eight columns. A ninth would be an opinion, and opinions are not entered in a register.

Folio fourOverheads carried centrally, and the sheet that divides them
A cost is carried centrally when dividing it at the point of purchase would cost more than the division is worth, or when the thing bought cannot be cut up: the registered office and its post, the maintenance of the registers at folio six, the bookkeeping system the group’s ledgers are kept in, a policy placed in the name of the group where one is placed at all. Each enters the holder’s ledger as one line and is then apportioned.
Apportionment needs a basis, a figure for each entity on that basis, and arithmetic a reader can repeat. The sheet below shows every step: the figures are added, each divided by the total to give a fraction and a percentage, the percentage applied to the cost, the shares added back. Where rounding leaves a difference, the sheet says how much and where it was carried.
Apportionment sheet
An illustration of the method. Every figure is the reader’s to change; none is an allocation, a quotation or a statement of what any entity bears.
By hand: add the four figures; divide each by that total; apply the result to the cost; add the shares back and check them against the cost. Rounding to the penny is done last, and a penny of difference is carried to the largest share.
05
Folio fiveWhat is not done at this address
No client contract is signed in the name of HAVENPORT STUDIO LTD. No commission is accepted here and no work is sold from here. There is no portfolio on this site and there will not be one: the work of a trading entity is that entity’s to show, under its own name, with its own client’s permission. No client money is held, and nothing is made, stored or dispatched from 73 Rivington Crescent, which is an office with filing in it.
The list is here because a holding company is most often misread as a quieter version of the thing it holds. It is not a quiet studio; it is a different kind of company that owns part of some.
In practice: an enquiry, a brief or an invoice arriving at the correspondence address is entered in the correspondence register and forwarded to the entity it concerns, unanswered on its merits.
06
Folio sixThe books kept at 73 Rivington Crescent
The holder’s output is a filed record, and these are the books it is kept in. Each has a folio index at its front and can be read by date, by entity or by document reference. Folio twenty gives the same list with the keeping rule against each.
Register of directors
The office-holders required to be recorded, with their dates. Names are kept in the book, not published here.
Not publishedRegister of residential addresses
Kept apart, read by nobody who does not have to, and never published in any form.
Sealed, not publishedRegister of people with significant control
Whose control must be recorded, of what nature, and the date it arose or ceased.
Kept at the registered officeRegister of interests held
The book ruled at folio three: what is held of whom, since when, on which document.
Ruling shown at folio threeMinute book
Decisions of the board and of the members: the date, who was present, and the resolution as passed rather than as discussed. A transfer is filed against the minute authorising it.
Kept at the registered officeRecharge ledger
Every central cost, the basis it was divided on, each entity’s share, and the month the note was issued.
Method at folio seventeenCorrespondence register
Each message received or sent, with its date, a one-line subject, and the folio of any register it bears on.
Kept at the registered officeDocument file
The signed originals the registers point at — certificates, instruments, policies, engagement letters — in folio order.
Beside the registers07
Folio sevenWhere correspondence is entered
A message to studio@havenportstudio.buzz is read at the registered office and entered in the correspondence register on the day it is read, with a one-line subject and a folio number. Where it bears on a register — a transfer, a change of address, a request to inspect — it is cross-referenced to that register’s folio, and the reply quotes the same folio, so a later message is tied to the same entry instead of opening a second one.
Post to 73 Rivington Crescent is treated the same way, entered on the day it is opened. What may be inspected, and how a request is made, is at folio twenty-one.
08
Folio eightHow the rest of this register runs
Four further leaves follow, and the folio numbering runs on through them.
- 09The group and what sits whereHow an interest is held and recorded, and what each entity keeps to itself.
- 14Shared overheadsWhich costs sit centrally, the bases, and the month end they are recharged at.
- 19Records and registersWhat is kept, where, who may ask to see it, and the sheet that dates an interval.
- 24Register and dataWhat this site holds, what the office holds, and the one external request.
