We help businesses on an annual basis with:
The requirement to file an annual confirmation statement applies to all companies, public and private, including dormant companies. This statement includes details of the company’s directors, share capital and shareholders and serves to confirm that your company has delivered all the required information from the previous review period.
It is important to file your company’s confirmation statement by the deadline to avoid being fined or potentially having your company struck off the register. In addition to meeting this legal obligation, our team can assist you in using the confirmation statement as an opportunity to review and update your company’s information and ensure all transaction-based records and filings are up to date.
Keeping statutory books up-to-date is not just good practice—it’s a legal requirement for company directors. These records include several statutory registers which must be maintained accurately and made available for public inspection:
In the interests of good governance, the company’s statutory books will often also include the Register of Allotments and Applications, Register of Transfers, Share Certificates and Board Minutes.
Our specialists can maintain your statutory registers and minute books to ensure compliance with legislation. If they are lost or gathering dust on a shelf, we’ll reconstitute them for you as soon as possible to avoid any potential legal or reputational risks.
Each stage of a business has its own challenges and opportunities. Our corporate lawyers specialise in advising established businesses through to exit.
