FAQs

How long does it take to form a new company?

We do this electronically where possible using specialist software. Typically, the registration process takes two working days.

My company is already formed; can I still use your services?

Yes. We provide a range of governance and compliance services from incorporation through to dissolution, including annual compliance, registered office and more specialist support packages.

Are there any compliance requirements?

We will carry out identity verification checks on all beneficial owners and directors associated with the company.

Can you be appointed as company secretary at Companies House?

No. We do not act as an officer (director or secretary) but can still provide company secretarial services. It is no longer a legal requirement for a private limited company to have a company secretary.

Can you file my confirmation statement?

Yes. We can prepare and submit your confirmation statement annually. We will contact you annually, before the made-up-to date, with a review document for approval.

Can you update my details at Companies House?

Yes. We offer a range of services which include filing updates at Companies House for directors, secretaries and persons with significant control.

What is a PSC and does my company have one?

A PSC is a person with significant control over your company. This might be a shareholder or someone else. We can help to identify your company’s PSC, update your statutory records and file the necessary forms at Companies House.

I want to change my shareholders; can you help me do this?

Yes. We provide specialist governance services, which include shareholder changes. This is usually done in consultation with our tax and accounting specialists to ensure best possible value for you.

I do not have statutory registers; can you prepare these for me?

Yes. We will review your company at Companies House and any paperwork that you may have. We can then constitute statutory registers electronically based on the evidence provided. We can also convert your hard copy registers into electronic format.

Do you provide a minuting service?

As part of our annual service, we will provide board minutes for the changes included in the service.

I want to close my company; can you help?

Yes. A company can be dissolved as long as it has not traded or sold off any stock in the last three months, has not changed names in the last three months, is not threatened with liquidation and it has no agreements with creditors, e.g. a company voluntary arrangement (CVA).

Are you looking to start a company?

Incorporating a company can be a daunting task, but with some basic information, we can make the process simple for you.
