Company secretarial

Compliance with the Companies Act 

The Companies Act obligates companies to submit various statutory forms and previously filed documents within strict time limits. Not only is this a considerable administrative burden, but failure to comply can also result in potentially severe penalties for directors, including late filing fees and even disqualification.

At Coveney Nicholls, we provide comprehensive company secretarial services designed to relieve you of both the administrative burden and the worry of ensuring legal compliance. Our expert corporate team handles all aspects of company secretarial duties, including the creation and maintenance of statutory registers, such as the new People with Significant Control (PSC) register, and the management of company registers for private limited companies.

Our full company secretary service also includes the preparation and submission of annual confirmation statements to Companies House, ensuring your company meets all compliance requirements promptly and accurately. We can assist with registered office address changes, share transfers, director appointments and resignations, and the maintenance of corporate records, keeping your company’s statutory books in order.

We offer tailored compliance support to your business needs, helping you navigate regulatory requirements and corporate governance responsibilities with ease. Our dedicated account manager provides exclusive monthly compliance guidance and updates on key business news, keeping you informed and ensuring your company remains compliant with all statutory obligations.

Whether you have a new company or an established limited company, our cost-effective company secretary service can help you manage annual company filings, dormant company accounts, and corporation tax purposes efficiently. Contact us today to discuss how we can support your business and help you avoid costly penalties while maintaining excellent corporate governance.
