A nominee secretary is a person who is appointed by a company to act as its secretary, fulfilling statutory roles on paper while acting only on instruction from the beneficial owner or directors. This can be useful for businesses that want to avoid the cost and hassle of appointing a full-time secretary, while ensuring formal governance continuity.
Maintenance of the company register is an important legal obligation within the Companies Act that all directors have to face, yet is often neglected. As your nominee company secretary, we will ensure that your company is keeping accurate records and is aware of all the statutory deadlines, helping you to avoid any late penalties and maintain good standing.
As a regulated TCSP, we offer discreet and fully compliant Nominee Secretary Services to support your UK company’s governance and statutory compliance needs.
