What is Company Secretarial work?

Company secretarial work is the ongoing administration that keeps a limited company legally in order: telling Companies House about changes, maintaining statutory registers and filing the annual confirmation statement.

It is easy to overlook, but the public record is what lenders, clients and suppliers see. Out-of-date directors, incorrect shareholdings or missed filings cause real problems at the worst moment.

We take it on so the record stays correct and nothing is missed.
