What a Company Secretary Does (and Whether You Need One)
Private companies haven’t been required to appoint a company secretary since 2006; public companies still must. But the duties never disappeared. Someone still has to file the confirmation statement, keep the PSC register current and update Companies House when your people change.
When no one owns that job, deadlines slip — and a slipped filing is how a solvent company ends up facing strike off and directors face prosecution. Outsourced company secretarial support gives you the compliance of an in-house secretary at a fraction of the cost, without filling the formal role.
We take the whole function, or just the parts you need. Either way, one named person owns your dates so nothing falls through the cracks.
- Our Service

Take the whole function or pick the parts you need. Every option is fixed-fee and quoted up front.
Confirmation Statement Filing
We track the date, prepare the CS01 and file inside the deadline due at least yearly, within 14 days of your review period ending. No fixed late fine, but a missed statement can trigger strike off and director prosecution, so the date matters more than the fee.
