Company Secretarial Services
Peterkins have been active in the provision of professional company secretarial services for more than twenty years, holding all records electronically since 1994. This work is conducted by our qualified company secretary/registrar, assisted as necessary by members of our corporate team.
Services
We offer different levels of service to meet different needs. We can do as little or as much as you require.
Basic Service – acting as registered office only – forwarding all post received to an agreed UK address for the attention of a person designated by the company.
Standard Service – The principal elements of our standard service include:
- Acting as registered office;
- Acting as nominee company secretary;
- Preparing and filing annual returns;
- Issue and transfers of Subscriber Shares;
- Appointment and resignation of directors;
- Maintenance of company statutory registers;
- Preparation and filing of resolutions and company forms;
- Drafting and completing board and general meeting minutes;
- Forwarding post received;
- Reminding you, and/or your accountant, of the filing deadline for accounts;
- Response to your accountant's annual audit letter.Other services – by agreement, but may include preparation of resolutions, corporate re-organisations, company health checks, trouble-shooting, winding up/dissolution.
Even where we are not the secretary, we are able to provide a full company secretarial advisory and support service, providing documents, forms and advice, etc as required.
Additional Services
Dormant Company Maintenance
We fulfil all filing requirements on your behalf, so the company's records are kept fully up to date at all times. We prepare non-trading accounts, prepare and file annual returns, provide a registered office service and act as nominee company secretary.
Company Health Check
We carry out an “audit” of a company's records, to determine whether there are any secretarial issues outstanding.
Share Allotments and Transfers
Occasionally, it is necessary to issue new shares or transfer existing ones to new owners. We advise on the rules governing this, which are contained in your Articles of Association and prepare all resolutions.
Preparation and Filing of Resolutions
Decisions made by a company should be validated by the passing of any appropriate resolutions. Some of these resolutions have to be filed with the Registrar of Companies, occasionally with supporting documentation and forms, in order to be effective. We advise on and prepare any necessary resolutions and ensure these are filed.
In certain circumstances, resolutions can be passed to make the administrative burden on the company easier. We advise on and prepare such resolutions for you.
Memorandum and Articles of Association
The Memorandum states what objectives the company has, what it can do and anything it is specifically prohibited from doing. The Articles are the company's constitution, detailing how the company's administration should be conducted.
Although both can be changed after incorporation, the approval of the shareholders has to be obtained by passing Special Resolutions. We advise whether any alteration is required, and if so, suggest appropriate amendments and wording. We prepare the resolutions and file them, with supporting documentation, at Companies House.
Company Formation
Peterkins also act in the formation of companies, supplying "instant" companies off the shelf, incorporated in a standard form or incorporating companies with more specific and sophisticated capital structures etc.
The services described are not exhaustive of those Peterkins offer. Please contact us if you would like to informally discuss your specific requirements.
