All businesses are facing increased compliance issues. Our Company Secretarial Service is designed to alleviate our clients’ worries about key compliance obligations under the Companies Acts, thereby enabling them to concentrate fully on building and promoting their business.

With the risk of criminal sanctions and severe financial penalties it is important that company directors comply with their obligations under the Companies Acts. Despite there no longer being a statutory requirement for private companies to appoint company secretaries, all the functions traditionally carried out by a company secretary (e.g. filing Confirmation Statements, writing up statutory registers, preparing board minutes etc) still require to be carried out. Additionally, companies with only one director will often require a second signature on legal documentation (e.g. when you open a bank account). If you do not appoint a company secretary this documentation will need to be signed by an appointed witness so most companies still opt to appoint a company secretary.

Terms and Conditions

Company Incorporation Services

For various reasons, you may need to incorporate a company as a vehicle to drive your idea forward.

Most small businesses are set up as limited companies and are the most popular vehicles to carry out their operations. Statistics from Companies House show that there are now more than 2 million companies on its register.

If you intend for your company to grow and consequently take more risks, it would be advisable to set up a limited company.

The term ‘limited’ derives from the fact that the company’s finances are distinct from the personal finances of their owners (unlike a sole trader/partnership arrangement). Shareholders in limited companies are not responsible for company debts, although if required, directors may be required to guarantee loans or credit granted to the company. A limited company exists in its own right, and this means that if the company runs into trouble, it is the company, not you, who is sued.
