Company Secretarial Work

Perrys undertake statutory company secretarial work for over 950 Limited Companies. Our company secretarial department, based at our West Malling Office, maintains all the statutory books and records on a sophisticated computer-based system. All routine work, such as changes in directors and shareholders together with the preparation of annual returns is linked in with the system so that when the necessary documentation is prepared the statutory records are automatically updated.

Part of the service that we offer to clients is the regular monitoring of deadlines for the submission of documentation. In addition to ensuring that all documentation is dealt with on a timely basis, we will regularly chase for the return of paperwork where this is not dealt with expeditiously by clients.

A considerable amount of our tax planning work is facilitated by changing share structures etc. on limited companies. Additionally, it is often possible to create various safeguards by “personalising” the structure of a company and its memorandum and articles of association. For example, a client may wish to issue shares to a key member of staff, but want to put in safeguards whereby their influence at times of possible future dispute or conflict would be limited. Advice in these areas can usually be sought from your consultant but the processing of the work and the change in documentation is dealt with by our company secretarial department.

We have online facilities with Companies House. These enable us to form companies very quickly and, to be able to obtain company searches on a live basis.
