Company secretarial

Outsourcing your company secretarial responsibilities means we can take care of Companies Act statutory compliance while you focus on your business.

Under the Companies Acts, a number of general duties required for statutory compliance are enforced upon the Directors and Secretary of a company. We appreciate that complying with statutory obligations is a significant and time-consuming responsibility which many business owners find onerous. Duties range from the maintenance of the Register of Members and Register of Directors and Secretaries, to the filing of various returns to the Registrar of Companies.

Your failure to carry out these duties correctly can result in severe penalties for you as a Director and can even result in your company being struck off. The prosecution of Directors can also lead to disqualification for up to 15 years and removal of the company from the Register.
