Company secretarial services that gives you clarity and control

Find out how our experts can help

Companies House rules are changing fast, putting more pressure on your business to stay compliant. 

The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA) is the biggest reform to business filings in a generation. It means more scrutiny – introducing mandatory ID checks and a new ‘failure to prevent fraud’ offence. 

We understand these rules – our experts keep you ahead of the changes – giving you clarity and control. Our company secretarial support includes: 

  • Mandatory ID verification for directors and PSCs 
  • Maintaining statutory registers 
  • Director and PSC appointments, resignations and updates 
  • Share capital changes and restructuring support 
  • Compliance oversight and ongoing monitoring 

Accurate filings without the stress

Filings are tough, and new rules only make them more difficult for your business. 

Penalties, criminal prosecution, and company strike-offs are just some of the risks you face for getting it wrong. 

Our professionals offer you peace of mind. We ensure everything is accurate and filed on time, so you can focus on growing your business with confidence.

Keeping you compliant with changing rules

Staying compliant while running a business can be overwhelming. Businesses are facing more pressure than ever. 

New rules are complicated, and enforcement is tougher – getting everything right requires clarity. 

We strip away uncertainty, offering clear guidance and proactive support that keeps you in control. We support you with:  

  • Companies House filings – confirmation statements and statutory registers, following ‘appropriate address’ requirements and other new rules. 
  • Director and PSC obligations – smoothly handling ID verifications, appointments, and resignations. 
  • Governance needs – helping you with AGM notices, the circulation of accounts, and shareholder updates. 
  • ECCTA changes – ensuring you meet all the deadlines as new rules are phased in. 

 

Take control of your compliance

Governance support that scales with you

Your business is always changing. New appointments, structural adjustments, and growth are exciting, but they also come with risk. 

Failure to follow new rules or maintain accurate records can result in financial penalties and even criminal prosecution. 

That’s why you need governance support that scales with your business. Our secretarial team guides you at every stage, helping you make smarter decisions and operate smoothly. 

Working with your in-house team, and closely aligning with our tax and audit specialists – we will: 

  • Provide practical advice on corporate governance, statutory obligations, and shareholder matters 
  • Manage AGM notices, circulation of accounts and statutory records – keeping everything organised, and compliant 
  • Support director appointments, share allotments and transfers, shareholder updates, and confirmation statements
