Director Changes

Managing director appointments, resignations, and updates are essential for maintaining accurate company records. We handle all necessary filings, ensuring changes are promptly reflected in official documents – keeping your records up to date before Companies House takes action or you face crunch time with your statutory financial statements.

Board and Committee Support

Effective board and committee meetings are essential for good governance. We provide comprehensive support, including agenda preparation, minute-taking, and follow-up actions.

Pack Preparation

Preparing comprehensive meeting packs is essential for informed decision-making. We handle the preparation of these packs, ensuring that all necessary information is included and presented clearly.

Example: A financial institution relied on our pack preparation services for their quarterly board meetings, resulting in more efficient and effective decision-making processes. Ensuring directors have the necessary background information to make informed decisions while fulfilling their duties in line with the Companies Act.

Developing detailed registers from scratch is crucial for due diligence and compliance. Our team creates and maintains accurate registers tailored to your company’s needs.

Example: A venture capital-funded start-up required detailed registers for a funding round. Our services ensured that all necessary information was accurately documented, facilitating a successful investment process.

Register & Record Checks
