We offer a company secretarial service to legally document changes to your company's details, to maintain your company’s record at Companies House and to act as your company secretary.
All companies have company secretarial obligations. They are obliged to file an Annual Return with Companies House each year and to keep certain statutory registers complete and up to date. In addition, changes in a company's details, such as a change in officers (directors and secretaries), its registered office or its accounting reference date have to be legally documented and notified to Companies House.

UK companies are required to keep up to date statutory registers in respect of members, people with significant control, directors, directors' residential addresses, company secretaries, charges and debentures (amongst others). We hold your statutory registers at our offices and update them as required.

Written Resolutions and Filings
We draft all of the necessary written resolutions to effect any desired change in your company's officers, registered office or accounting reference date, and make appropriate filings at Companies House on your behalf within the mandated time period to avoid potential fines. Our service provides all the necessary paperwork and all forms are submitted electronically on your behalf.

Annual Return
UK companies are required by law to file an Annual Return with Companies House. Our service compares the information in your statutory books with the public record at Companies House, asks you for details of any changes and, after any appropriate amendments are made, submits your annual return electronically. The government filing fee in respect of this return is included in our annual fee.
