Company Secretarial
Running a limited company brings a steady stream of statutory administrative duties — maintaining registers, filing resolutions, keeping your registered office up to date. These company secretarial tasks are easy to overlook but legally required, and neglecting them can lead to fines, a poor public record, or even the company being struck off. Our London accountants act as your corporate administrative arm, keeping everything pristine.
What company secretarial covers
Company secretarial is the legal administration of your company. It includes maintaining your statutory registers (of directors, shareholders and secretaries), keeping your registered office address current, drafting board minutes and resolutions, and filing any changes to your company’s structure or details with Companies House.
It also covers the provision of a registered office address — the official address where statutory mail and legal documents are served. Using a professional registered office keeps your home address off the public record and ensures important documents are received and actioned promptly.
How we manage your company admin
We maintain your statutory registers so they always reflect the current reality of your company. Whenever a change occurs — a new director, a share transfer, a change of registered office — we prepare the necessary resolutions, file the correct forms with Companies House, and update your registers in the same move.
We also draft board minutes and resolutions for key decisions, ensuring they are legally valid and properly recorded. This creates a clear paper trail that protects directors and satisfies any future inspection by HMRC, Companies House or an investor.
Why it matters
An accurate, up-to-date company record is a sign of a well-run business. It satisfies your legal obligations, reassures lenders and investors, and prevents the small administrative lapses that can snowball into serious compliance problems. Handing it to us means it is always done, and always done right.
