It is a company secretary’s duty to oversee the administrative running of the company. The amount of work involved will largely depend upon the size of your company and how involved the directors are in the administration.
Should there be no company secretary, the directors must ensure these functions are carried out. If the company defaults in any of the administrative functions it is required to carry out, its officers (being the directors and company secretary (if there is one)) will be liable to pay a fine.
Barlow Robbins LLP can act as your company’s company secretary through Barlow Robbins Secretariat Limited ensuring that all filings are in order and comply with the Companies Act requirements. Many of our clients find it useful that our company secretarial service also provides a signatory as an officer of the company for UK bank accounts and Companies House forms.
