Company Secretarial Services
Statutory responsibilities - your obligations
Company directors who underrate the importance of the role of
the company secretary do so at their peril. It is true that
there are no qualification requirements for secretaries of private
companies and certain filing and disclosure obligations are
more generous for private companies than they are for public
companies. However, directors and secretaries of private and
public companies can be fined and face criminal prosecution
for failure to comply with the administrative, disclosure and
filing requirements of the Companies Acts 1985. In particular
it is also important to be aware of the changes taking place
through the implementation of the Companies Act 2006.
Help is at Hand
As a further service to its client, Charles Russell has incorporated
its own company, Halco Secretaries Limited, specifically to
act as a company secretary. It provides a full range of secretarial
services which can include:
| • |
Acting as Company Secretary |
| • |
Preparing and maintaining registers of shareholders,
directors and other statutory records |
| • |
Filing annual returns and other statutory
documents at Companies House either in hard copy or electronically,
giving notice of, for example, changes in officers and
share capital and the registration of charges |
| • |
Preparing formal board and Annual General
Meeting minutes where required and advising whether Annual
General Meetings are required. |
| • |
Provision of a registered office address
and mail forwarding facility. |

plus VAT. If, however, Annual General Meeting minutes are
not required the annual fee will be reduced to £400

forwarding of communications there is an annual fee of £200
plus VAT.
These fees are reviewed annually.
