Board-Level Corporate Governance & Secretarial Services
Directors have legal duties beyond just tax. We handle your statutory registers, dividend vouchers, and Companies House filings to keep you bulletproof.
Statutory Healthcheck
Confirmation Statement
Filed annually. Confirms officers & PSCs.
Register of Members
Often missing! Must exist legally.
Dividend Vouchers
Required for every payment. Usually missing.
"The company is a separate legal person. It must have its own brain (Board Minutes) and memory (Registers). Without them, the corporate veil is pierced."
More Than Just a Form
Most directors think the annual Confirmation Statement is the only requirement. It isn't. The Companies Act requires you to maintain "Statutory Registers" at all times. If you don't, you are committing an offence.
Criminal Prosecution
Failing to keep statutory registers is a criminal offence for directors, punishable by fines.
Illegal Dividends
Dividends voted without Board Minutes and Vouchers are technically illegal loans.
Lost Shares
Improperly recorded share transfers can mean you don't actually own your company.
Annual Governance Rhythm
Company Secretarial work is cyclical. We manage these events so you stay compliant year-round.
