Companies House Secretarial Services

There are many tax advantages you can utilise by trading as a limited company, but operating a limited company does come with additional responsibilities. Our service for company secretaries and directors aims to take away the legal and tax burdens and give you full support to take the headaches out of complying with your statutory duties.

It means you get to concentrate on doing what you do best.

Setting up a company to run your business can be a daunting prospect if you are doing it for the first time.  While anyone can set up a limited company, unsurprisingly, most people consult a professional for help.

Rosemoore + Co has helped numerous clients with their company formations over the years so when you choose us to help you, you’ll benefit from our expertise and experience.

We are with you every step of the way, guiding you through the unfamiliar terminology and procedures. Our company formation service covers all the processes required to set up your limited company and we’ll have you up and running in no time!

Company Formations

We can create and register a company, specific to your needs, on a same day basis, and electronically, if required. Alternatively, we can provide you with an 'off the shelf' company.

What is required for a company incorporation?

To form a company, you will need the following:

• A company name – we can advise what it can and can’t include certain names
• An address for the company to which official letters can be sent. This must be in the same country in which your new company is registered – we can provide a registered office address if required
• At least one director aged 16 or over
• Shareholders’ details
• Shareholding details
• Director information including full name, surname, any former names, full service address, usual residential address, country or state of residence, date of birth, nationality and occupation

What annual obligations must companies meet?

All types of organisations including private companies, publicly listed companies (PLCs), industrial and provident societies, charities and limited liability partnerships (LLPs) may be required to file a number of important documents on an annual basis.

Annual Compliance Requirements

Every company is required to keep registers of certain things and we can maintain these on your behalf:

• Register of Directors
• Register of Secretaries
• Register of Shareholders
• Register of Charges
• PSC Register (People with Significant Control)

There are certain filings that need to made every year and we can take care of these on your behalf, including:

• Confirmation statement – confirming that the information that Companies House holds about your company is correct.
• Annual report & accounts

Registered Office

Every company, regardless of size, type or business sector, is required by law to have an address where official correspondence can be served. The registered office address, which may be different from the actual trading address, must appear on all official documents, including letterheads, invoices, order forms, websites and financial communications.

Many companies choose to display Rosemoore + Co address as their registered office in order to benefit from a London postcode or to protect their privacy if trading from a residential address.

Our registered office service includes the forwarding of official correspondence, which by law has to be sent to a company’s registered office address such as communications from Companies House, HMRC correspondence relating to corporation tax matters or the Court Service.

Should you miss a Companies House filing deadline it can lead to financial penalties and even sanctions. Rosemoore + Co will take care of your Companies House filings and ensure that everything is filed on time and in the correct way.
