Private or public company directors can be fined and face criminal prosecution if they fail to comply with the administrative, disclosure and filing requirements of the 1985 and 2006 Companies Acts.
To meet your obligations, and to give you one less thing to worry about, we can offer you a dedicated company secretarial service, tailored to your requirements.
Our team provides a full range of company secretarial services, from the birth to the cessation of a company. We can work with the director(s) or your company secretarial team, or alternatively we can be a cost-effective alternative to an in-house department. Either way, we become a part of your team; working alongside you with the minimum of fuss to ensure your legal obligations are met.
For more information or for any enquirers, please contact our Company Secretarial Team.
