Company Secretarial Services

How can you support my business with company secretarial services?

We can take the burden from your company by fulfilling the duties of a company secretary for you. These include:

Maintaining the statutory registers, books and records

Things like the statutory registers of directors and secretaries, shareholders and shareholdings, share capital, share transfers, charges on the company’s assets, and debenture holders. We can maintain these records for you.

Arranging directors and shareholders meetings

From initial notification of a meeting, through dealing with the agenda and paperwork, to taking and distributing the minutes afterwards, we can service meetings to make sure they run like clockwork. We can also ensure regulatory compliance requirements relating to board meetings and, where applicable, annual general meetings are met.

Filing returns

We will complete and file your annual return. We’ll also deal with other statutory returns, including your annual accounts and, where applicable, directors’ and auditors’ reports.

Keeping Companies House informed of changes

If there are any significant changes to your company’s structure or management – e.g., appointments and resignations of directors – we’ll inform Companies House on your behalf.

Compliance with legal matters

WIS Accounting will ensure the company is compliant with the Companies Act 2006, and other legal requirements. We will confirm we have a good working knowledge of your articles of association, to make sure they are adhered to.

Signing legal documentation

We will sign legal documentation, such as the annual return, on behalf of your company’s directors.

Keeping legal documents safe and secure

Your company’s legal paperwork must be kept safe and secure. This includes:

• certificate of incorporation;
• memorandum of association;
• articles of association;
• records of share transfers;
• registers of directors and secretaries; and,
• the minute book.

Our service includes keeping these records safe for you.

Maintaining the company’s registered office address

This is the principal address for all formal communication with your company. It, along with details like the registered number and country of registration of your company, must be included on your company website, your business paperwork (e.g., invoices), and your stationery.

We can do this for you.

Administrative duties

Particularly in smaller companies, company secretaries can take on administrative tasks such as VAT, insurance, PAYE and payroll, pensions, and ensuring private companies fully comply with data protection and health and safety requirements. This can be a huge help and free up you, your team and your resources to focus on other things.

We have the resources and expertise to handle all this on your behalf.
