FAQ
Have questions? We’re here to help
Where we have incorporated a company, or where no historical records exist, we do not charge a fee. A one-off fee applies to entities with an existing record at Companies House to ensure accuracy and legal compliance. This fee, starting from £200, varies depending on the entity’s age, the volume of transactions, and the condition of existing records. We would be happy to provide a detailed estimate following a review of the relevant documents.
In addition to the support included in the fixed fee annual compliance service, we can also:
- Perform corporate re-organisations
- Issue new classes of shares
- Execute changes to share structures
- Attend board and/or shareholders meetings
- Draft bespoke articles of association
- Prepare of board and shareholder notices and produce meeting minutes
- File end of year accounts
- File dormant accounts
If the company records have not been properly maintained or there are gaps in the records we can rebuild the history for you. The work will be carried out on a time spent basis and we can provide a quote before commencing work.
Yes. We manage the statutory books for large groups of companies including in the financial services, energy and real estate sectors. If you operate a group structure please get in touch with more details and we would be happy to help.
A named company secretary is an optional feature of the annual compliance service. The company secretary will be able to sign certain documents on behalf of the company if desired. This can simplify administrative processes and avoid director and shareholder signatures appearing on the public record.
