Although most private companies are not legally required to appoint a company secretary, many businesses use professional secretarial support to maintain corporate records, manage filings and support board and shareholder administration.
Coutts Consultants treats uk company secretary service as a defined professional engagement rather than a generic add-on.
We begin by understanding the client's commercial objective and reviewing statutory registers, board and shareholder records, Companies House filings, governance calendar and corporate actions. We then assemble the appropriate information, coordinate the filing, application or specialist work, and manage queries through to a clear completion point.
Where the work involves a reserved legal activity, regulated advice, audit, immigration advice or another protected professional function, execution is undertaken by an appropriately qualified or authorised UK professional. Any approval, registration, licence, bank account or regulatory permission remains subject to the decision of the relevant authority or provider.
