Company secretarial

Working behind the scenes

Running a limited company comes with its fair share of paperwork, including registrations, returns, records and much more. While these types of administrative tasks are essential, it’s extremely easy for things to get overlooked and even forgotten. This could spell disaster if you fail to get all the paperwork Companies House requires on time and without any mistakes.

In the past, the law required companies to hire a company secretary who would take on all the work Companies House requires and more. But nowadays, companies don’t have to hire a company secretary, unless their articles of association insist on one. That means a lot of company directors are needlessly struggling.

But you don’t even need to hire an in-house company secretary. Instead, bennettbrooks can take on the entire role on your behalf. Our company secretarial service includes everything from recording company meetings to regular returns that have to be sent to Companies House. Accuracy, timeliness and organisational skills are key for a secretary to be secretary, and after having worked with a number of clients, and our experience means we know how to get it right.

Our role can be wide-ranging and tailored to your needs as a business. For instance, we’ll maintain your statutory books, including a register of directors, secretaries and shareholders, minutes of general meetings as well as records of loan agreements. We’ll also arrange meetings of the directors and shareholders, inform Companies House of changes to your company’s structure, and ensure the security of your legal documents.
