UK private companies limited by shares are not required to have a company secretary. However, the director(s) are legally responsible for ensuring that the duties are fulfilled and failure to do so is a personal legal liability. Elemental acts on behalf of law firms, international clients and clients that lack dedicated company secretarial resources internally.

For an annual fixed fee, we will ensure:
• The minimum regulatory requirements are met: preparing and filing the Confirmation Statement, providing a registered email address, monitoring of emails by a company secretary, maintaining the statutory registers in electronic form, filing changes in the statutory registers and preparation of relevant AGM documents (if required)
• The directors always have access to a point of contact for company secretarial queries.

We maintain client records using Dilligent, the UK market leader. As company secretarial specialists we can offer this service to our clients at a fraction of the cost of purchasing an individual license.

For the Annual Compliance Service we will need to confirm the identity of the client and any beneficial owner of the client.

Every private company must file end of year accounts, even if the company is dormant.

As part of our service we can:
• Advise you on the most appropriate accounting standards and areas where GAAP adjustments may be necessary.
• Prepare your accounts using the latest precedents.
• Understand the economic substance of your transactions to ensure the integrity of your accounts.
• Provide a schedule of any journals booked including a narrative describing the rationale behind each one.
• If relevant, prepare separate abbreviated accounts for submission to Companies’ House (the public record).
• Advise you of filing deadlines, and keep you up to date with progress.

This express service guarantees same day formation, provided the application is submitted before 2 PM on a business day.

Please note that where the formation is submitted for an expert review, the 2pm deadline refers to the final approval for submission and the answering of any questions by Elemental. If timing is critical, you should remove expert review or get in touch.

Whether for general confidentiality issues or commercial sensitivities, clients may prefer to keep ownership of shares confidential. Our nominee shareholder service meets these needs, subject to the rules regarding Persons of Significant Control. The service also gives you an audit trail as to your ownership of the shares. This can be useful when you need to prove ownership, such as to the tax authorities or other regulatory bodies.

Please note that by selecting this option your order will come to us prior to incorporation so we can discuss the nominee shareholder arrangements with you.
