Running a limited company comes with legal requirements.
Each company must have at least one director who is legally responsible for running the company, making sure accounts and reports are properly prepared, and statutory documents are delivered on time. If you fail to deliver statutory documents on time this is a criminal offense.
Many companies use an outsourced company secretary to take on some of the director’s responsibilities. We offer this service to protect shareholders and owners of small private companies.
Q: What do company secretaries do?
A: Company secretaries provide many services which will help you run your business and remain legally compliant.
Choose us as your company secretary, and we can provide a dedicated address for statutory communications so that all correspondence is opened and dealt with in a timely manner.
Q: Can you help with share-related issues?
A: Yes. We can advise on issuing shares, who should have them and the number and share class allocated to each shareholder. We can issue share certificates and dividend vouchers for each shareholder, prepare resolutions and register share transfers.
Q: Can you speak on my behalf to Companies House and HMRC?
A: Yes. We can liaise with your accountants and ensure that financial statements meet the statutory deadlines for Companies House and HMRC.
We can take care of your statutory compliance filing online at Companies House, including annual accounts and form CS01 confirmation statement (formerly called your ‘annual return’).
We can take care of your statutory compliance filing online with HMRC including company accounts and CT600 company tax return.
Finally, we can maintain your company register.
