Expert Company Secretarial Support

UK companies must file several vital documents with Companies House throughout the year, including the annual confirmation statement (previously called the annual return), annual accounts, and any changes to company details such as director appointments/resignations or registered office address changes. 

Missing these filings can result in penalties starting at £150 and potentially lead to your company being struck off the register.

Since the Companies Act 2006 came into effect, private limited companies in the UK are no longer legally required to appoint a formal company secretary.

Public limited companies must still appoint a qualified company secretary.
