Company Secretarial Services
Corporate or business secretarial services are administrative and compliance-focused functions, including managing statutory records, annual governance and filings, and board meetings, allowing directors to focus on operations.
Beyond Accounts: Director Compliance
Directorial responsibilities don’t stop at accounts and tax. Companies House compliance has its own stream of obligations, and missed filings or poor record keeping can cause avoidable risk.
FWD provides company secretarial support to help directors fulfil the Company Secretary function and keep the business’s statutory house in order.
This includes practical, day-to-day company secretarial services such as:
Maintenance of statutory registers, submission of statutory documents, carrying out company searches, completion of share transfer forms, preparation of share certificates, and filing the annual Confirmation Statement.
For companies with multiple directors or shareholders, we also support governance mechanics: giving notice of general meetings, drafting agendas, and preparing minutes of meetings.
Stay compliant
Confirmation statements, registers, share transfers, director changes.
Transition-ready
Invaluable when adding shareholders, raising finance, or planning a sale.
Protects everything
Messy statutory records undermine accounts, tax and lender confidence.
This is about ensuring decisions are properly documented and the company’s records match reality.
Useful when ownership structures evolve, new shareholders are introduced, or succession planning becomes real rather than theoretical.
Company secretarial support often becomes most valuable at transition points:
- Incorporation and early growth (getting the basics right)
- Bringing in a co-director or shareholder
- Transferring shares within a family business
- Preparing for finance, investment, or sale
- Tightening governance as the business matures
Good company secretarial housekeeping also protects your finance work. If shareholdings, director appointments, or statutory filings are messy, it can create knock-on issues for accounts, tax, and stakeholder confidence.
FWD’s approach is practical: keep compliance clean, keep records current, and take the admin off directors’ desks.
