Company Secretarial

We provide administrative and company secretarial services designed to remove a company's worries about its compliance obligations under the Companies Acts, thereby permitting the management to concentrate on running the company's business.

With the risk of criminal sanctions and severe financial penalties it is more important than ever that company directors keep up to date with their compliance obligations under the Companies Acts. Despite there no longer being a statutory requirement for private companies to appoint company secretaries, the responsibility of individual directors to ensure strict adherence to the growing body of rules and regulations is more strictly enforced by the regulators.

Our basic service includes:-

1. Acting as Company Secretary.
2. Providing our office address as the company's registered office and forwarding all mail as required.
3. Ensuring prompt attention for documents sent to the company at its registered office.
4. Maintaining all necessary corporate and statutory registers for the company on a secure database.
