Our company formation and secretarial services
A company secretary is usually the first point of contact for a company’s directors and shareholders. They are accountable for crucial matters that need addressing, including filing of statutory returns, correspondence regarding dividends, registration of share ownership, transfers and more.
Our solicitors can provide advice for those who are the company secretary or can act in their place.
When you work with the Rollits team for your secretarial matters, we can provide our office as your company’s registered address to ensure that all important statutory communication from Companies House and HMRC is promptly and correctly dealt with.
Ensuring registers are kept up to date is a legal requirement and can also help to reduce delays and costs during the sale of a business.
Our solicitors can provide advice and support on registers, ensuring you are in full legal compliance with Companies House, including:
- Register of members and shareholders
- Register of directors
- Register of directors’ residential addresses
- Register of secretaries
- Register of people with significant control (PSC)
Businesses have many laws they are required to follow, these laws are subject to frequent changes and, as such, it can be hard to keep track. To make certain you are complying with the relevant laws, speaking to a solicitor is crucial.
Our company solicitors can provide comprehensive, hands-on advice and support on the Companies Act 2006, including in relation to:
- Share allotments
- Statutory registers completion
- Share certificate issuing
- Directors’ decisions and meeting minutes
- Statutory and other returns
Where special, written or ordinary resolutions are actioned, it is a requirement to inform Companies House by sending the relevant forms, including minutes taken from relevant decisions and meetings.
Our solicitors can ensure these forms are appropriately filled in and submitted.
Annual returns, now referred to as a confirmation statement, are required every year by Companies House. A solicitor can assist with making certain that all necessary information is included in the return.
Our solicitors can guide you through the process by arranging the document to include details relating to your registered office, directors, statement of capital, shareholder information, SIC code and register of ‘people with significant control’ (PSC).
Filing important and required documents past the deadline can result in your business facing a penalty.
Our secretarial service solicitors can ensure you have a clear record of the key dates and provide frequent reminders to avoid financial penalties.
