Frequently Asked Questions – Secretarial & Shareholder Services
Is a company secretary required for a UK company?
No – since April 2008, private limited companies are not required to have a company secretary. However, many companies choose to appoint one for professional compliance support.
What does a company secretary do?
A company secretary handles statutory compliance: maintaining registers, filing confirmation statements, issuing shares, recording director changes, and ensuring Companies Act compliance.
Can you act as my company secretary?
Yes – we can be appointed as your company secretary (nominal – Basic) or provide a qualified/chartered secretary (Standard/Premium).
What is a register of members?
The register of members (Section 113, Companies Act 2006) is the official record of all shareholders, their shareholdings, and the date they became members. We maintain it for you.
How do I issue new shares?
We prepare board minutes, file form SH01 with Companies House (£10 fee), issue share certificates, and update your register of members. Standard/Premium includes free share issuances.
What is the difference between share allotment and share transfer?
Allotment = new shares created and issued (increases share capital). Transfer = existing shares moved from one person to another (no change to share capital). We handle both.
Can you help with EMI option pools?
Yes – Premium package includes support for EMI (Enterprise Management Incentive) option pools, including option agreements and share issuance upon exercise.
What is a PSC register?
The Persons with Significant Control (PSC) register records anyone who owns more than 25% of shares or voting rights. We maintain this for you.
How do I pay dividends to shareholders?
We prepare dividend vouchers, board minutes, and ensure you follow the legal process (sufficient distributable reserves, proper documentation).
What is a confirmation statement (CS01)?
An annual filing that confirms your company's information is correct. We prepare and file it for you (1 free/year on Standard/Premium + CH fee).
Can you handle complex share structures (multiple classes)?
Yes – we are expert UK company registration specialists for companies with Alphabet shares (A, B, C), Preference shares, and growth shares.
How much does it cost to issue shares?
Companies House fee: £10. Our fee: Pay as you go (£29.99) or free within your retainer allowance (Standard: 2/year, Premium: 5/year).
Can you help if I'm raising investment from VCs?
Yes – we work with many funded startups. We prepare share issuance documents, update registers, and provide due diligence packs for investors.
What happens if I don't maintain statutory registers?
Failure to maintain registers is a criminal offence for directors (unlimited fine). We keep you compliant.
Can you backdate register entries?
No – backdating is illegal. We maintain accurate, dated records from the point we are engaged.
Do you file at Companies House on my behalf?
Yes – for SH01 (share issuance), CS01 (confirmation statement), TM01 (secretary resignation), and other relevant filings.
