Company Secretarial Support Services

We act for many limited companies and limited liability partnerships and can deal with virtually all the statutory requirements that arise on behalf of the directors or members. In particular, we can:-

• Provide a registered office address;
• Form companies for you, and, later, arrange for them to be struck off and dissolved;
• Maintain the statutory register of members and prepare annual returns and other statutory forms for Companies House;
• Deal with the appointment and resignation of directors and, where necessary, the company secretary;
• Deal with share transactions and dividends;
• Arrange for company searches;
• Liaise with agents on making significant changes in the company’s Memorandum & Articles of Association or Constitution;
• Assist with shareholder agreements (usually in liaison with solicitors);
• Generate dividend vouchers.

Since 6 April 2008 most small companies have been exempt from the requirement to appoint a company secretary but we can continue to provide the necessary services in cases where this relaxation has been introduced.

We charge fixed fees for most company secretarial services and can assist with monitoring changes to the company's record at Companies House and can file various forms online.  Online filing saves £15 for each annual return currently and can also be used as a means of reducing the risk of identity theft, something which is becoming more frequent for companies.

Increasingly expensive penalties can be incurred if accounts or other statutory forms are not filed on time and some breaches can even result in a criminal record for directors (or members of LLPs).  Personal liability can arise if directors do not comply with some rules and regulations and our service can bring greater peace of mind at a fairly low cost.
