03. Outsourced Company Secretary
Named and Unnamed Company Secretary Services
Being a company secretary is so much more than just organising paperwork. We help the Board function at its best and keep the information flowing. Soft skills are key, as well as technical excellence. But many businesses do not need a full time company secretary. Or they may have a company secretary but need extra resources at certain busy times of the year.
Depending on your circumstances:
-
we can act as named company secretary where we are formally appointed as company secretary to your organisation but you outsource this function to us.
-
we can act as an unnamed company secretary where the role is formally held by another executive or director and we provide the heavy lifting behind the scenes.
-
we can assist as a consultant with particular projects or pieces of work.
We are independent of any share registry providers or corporate groups.
