Company Secretarial Consultancy
Although the post of company secretary is now optional for private limited companies, the compliance obligations such as filing information at Companies House and maintaining the companys' statutory registers will still need to be carried out. The onus will be on the directors to ensure that all legal requirements are complied with.
What appears to be routine can be fraught with problems or is often sidelined and forgotten. Failure to comply can result in significant fines for the directors and the company, and thousands of companies are struck off the Companies' Register each year.
By using Oswalds company secretarial services you can avoid the pain of penalties, whilst minimising the time you spend keeping up-to-date with company legislation. This leaves you free to do what you do best – growing your business.
Our administration specialists will ensure that all your company's statutory requirements are met, on time, in full and to a high degree of accuracy.
The following services are included in our annual fee:
Annual Obligations
Annual Return
Essential company information must be filed at Companies House each year. We will ensure that this return is correctly completed and filed with Companies House on your behalf. All you need do is confirm to us the information we hold on file for your company and provide us with the Companies House filing fee, which will allow us to file the annual return electronically.
Annual General Meetings ("AGM's") - Where Applicable
We will remind you when your meeting is due by sending you a customised worksheet. Once completed, we will send you all the necessary documents for signature. If your company no longer requires to hold an AGM, we can arrange for appropriate elective resolutions to be drafted to dispense with this requirement at no extra cost.
Annual Accounts
To avoid incurring heavy fines from Companies House, subscribers receive several timely reminders of the filing deadline and are kept informed of the necessary accounting requirements. If the company has not traded, we can assist in preparing Abbreviated Accounts for a dormant company.
Minute Keeping
We will maintain all records relating to minutes of meetings and any resolutions passed that are supplied to us by the Company.
Register Maintenance
We will maintain all the necessary registers for your company and keep them on a secure database to ensure your company details are kept up-to-date and ready for inspection.
First Board Meeting
This meeting, held shortly after incorporation, establishes the basic structure of your company. Minutes of the meeting, all transfer documents and share certificates are prepared ready for signature by the director(s) (for newly incorporated companies only)
Registered Office
