Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Company Secretary legally required for my UK LTD?
No. Under the Companies Act 2006, appointing a formal Company Secretary is optional for private companies. However, the legal tasks—such as filing and record-keeping—remain strictly mandatory. If you do not appoint a secretary, the director(s) must handle these tasks personally.
Can we change our company name under this service?
Yes! Changing your company name requires special shareholder resolutions and Companies House filings (NM01). Our managed secretary package coordinates this seamlessly. Note that Companies House charges a separate small registry filing fee for name changes.
What happens if we miss our Confirmation Statement deadline?
Failing to file your Confirmation Statement is a criminal offense and can lead to prosecution of directors or the company being forcibly dissolved and struck off the register. Our system automatically schedules, prepares, and files your statement long before the deadline.
