Recently, the legal requirement to have a Company Secretary has been abolished. However, the tasks of the Company Secretary remain, and we can assist you to perform those tasks accurately and on time. We act as your Company Secretary, and that task starts as soon as the company or partnership is formed and continues until it is dissolved. These tasks include:
Registered Office
Once your company has been formed you will be required to have a Registered Office. This provides the business with:
- a formal address to receive all official communications from Companies House, HM Revenue & Customs and other official bodies, and
- a site on which the business can maintain and store it’s statutory records
As part of our Company Secretarial Service we can act as your Registered Office. This will ensure that all official communications are dealt with promptly and efficiently, and also that they are not delivered to your home address.
Directors Service Address
It is no longer necessary for the residential address of a director to be published. Instead, all directors must provide an address at which they can guarantee to be contacted. We provide that address for all of our clients.
Other Company Secretarial Tasks
Equally as important, our Company secretarial function will ensure that your statutory obligations are managed in a timely fashion. We make full use of technology to file all your documents with the Registrar of Companies on-line. These documents include:
- Confirmation Statement – This document details particulars of company ownership, and failure to file it by the due date is a criminal offence.
- Annual Accounts – These have to be filed within a specified period of time from your year end in order to avoid late filing penalties.
- Other ad hoc documents which need to be filed such as appointment and resignation of company officers , increase in share capital, etc
In short, our Company Secretarial service ensures that you remain compliant with all the statutory requirements.
