Company Secretarial Services to Keep Your Business Compliant and Stress-Free
Running a business comes with enough challenges and your statutory duties shouldn’t be one of them. Our Company Secretarial service ensures you’re fully compliant with Companies House and HMRC, so you can focus on growth, not governance.
What are Company Secretarial services?
Hint...We handle the paperwork, so you don’t have to
Company secretarial services help you stay compliant with legal obligations like Companies House filings, maintaining statutory registers and making sure your company details are always up to date. Think of us as your company’s compliance co-pilot.
Annual Confirmation Statement
We prepare and file your Confirmation Statement with Companies House, so you never miss a deadline.
Registered Office Service
Use our address to keep your personal address private and ensure official post is handled efficiently.
Company Registers Maintained
We keep your statutory records in perfect order, from directors to shareholders.
Director Identity Verification
From 18 November 2025, all company directors and PSCs must verify their identity with Companies House. As an authorised provider, we can complete this for you.
Appointment and Resignation of Directors
We handle all filings and paperwork when directors join or leave your company, keeping your records up to date.
Share Transfers and New Share Issues
We prepare the necessary documentation and file updates with Companies House when ownership changes.
This service is ideal for limited companies that want peace of mind, growing SMEs looking to protect their reputation, or time-poor directors who just want the admin done properly.
