Managing your statutory requirements the easy way

Jacqui Bradford, who specialises in Company Secretarial for Page Kirk, looks at how you can ease the burden of your legal responsibilities.

When running a business, it is hard to find time to make sure statutory requirements and paperwork are up to date. Outsourcing your Company Secretarial requirements means you will be able to take advantage of the following procedures being carried out professionally and in a timely manner.

Filing confirmation statements to Companies House

Confirmation Statements are an annual requirement to be submitted to Companies House confirming your companies' details.

Providing registered office services

Having an office address as your companies registered address means we here can handle all incoming post on your behalf for your company. It can normally be scanned and digitally sent out to you. Or filed into an electronic filing system. This service is great, as it cancels out the time and space used for filing in-house.

Forming companies

Using an account of Companies House and London Law, which most experts have access to, they can set up the companies share structures, director details, persons of significant control as well as any other aspects when setting up a new company.

Changing directors

This is when the details and positions of company directors can be changed at Companies House and all forms are filled out and filed on your behalf. This includes adding new directors, resigning directors, changing their address details, and voting rights.

Changing shareholders

Updates and any changes to the companies' shareholders can be done on your behalf on Companies House and Stamp Office. This includes share transfers, dividends, adding and removing company shareholders. Also, it may include restructuring of shares, such as changing the share class of a company.
