Common questions, answered plainly.

A company secretary supports a company in meeting its statutory and administrative obligations. That includes maintaining statutory registers and records, preparing resolutions and board documentation, organising and minuting meetings, and making the filings a company is required to make.

In practice, the role is about making sure the company’s corporate housekeeping is accurate, current and properly documented, so that directors can make decisions on a sound footing.

Yes. We provide company incorporation and registration support, and we set up the statutory records and registers a new company needs from day one. Starting with these in good order is considerably easier than reconstructing them later.

We work with start-ups and entrepreneurs, small and medium-sized enterprises, private companies and growing businesses, as well as directors and shareholders individually. Our support is scaled to the organisation.

Start with a conversation: call, email or send an enquiry through this site. We will discuss your requirements, review your current position and set out a clear proposal before any work begins. Our How We Work page sets out each stage.

Yes. We support changes relating to directors, shareholders and company particulars, including the documentation and filings such changes require.

We help clients understand, manage and monitor their corporate compliance responsibilities, keeping track of recurring obligations, preparing the associated documentation, and prompting you ahead of what is due.

Yes. Governance is not only for large organisations. Clear decision-making, proper records and defined responsibilities make a small company easier to run, easier to finance and easier to sell. We scale the framework to the organisation rather than imposing a corporate structure that does not fit.

It varies with the organisation. It may mean developing a governance framework, supporting the board and its committees, drafting governance policies and procedures, reviewing existing practices, or advising directors and management on their responsibilities.

Confidentiality is one of our core values. Corporate information is handled with discretion and professionalism, and all enquiries are treated in confidence.

Fees depend on the scope of the work and the size and complexity of the organisation. We set out the cost in our proposal, before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Yes. We frequently work as one part of a client’s professional support, and we are comfortable coordinating with your existing advisers.
