Common questions
Straight answers to what clients usually ask about this service.
Does my limited company need a company secretary?
A private limited company does not have to appoint one. It still has to keep statutory registers and file changes on time, and that is the work we handle, whether or not you name a secretary.
How do I add a shareholder?
The company allots new shares or records a transfer, updates its register of members and reports the change to Companies House. New share allotments generally have to be reported within one month. We prepare the paperwork and file it.
Do you provide legal advice?
No. We handle company secretarial administration and filing. Where a share structure or agreement needs legal drafting, we will say so and work with your solicitor.
