Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to set up this service?

It usually takes 3 to 5 days to complete the initial set up of the service, which includes appointing your new company secretary, and preparing the first set of statutory registers.

I formed my company with another agent – can I still use this service?

Yes. You do not need to have formed your company through 1st Formations to purchase this service.

When can I contact my account manager?

Your appointed account manager will be available, by phone or by email, Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm (excluding public holidays).

How often do you provide my company registers?

In our experience, our customers do not want the administrative burden of keeping a copy of their statutory company registers; therefore we will store your registers for you at our offices. Your registers are available on request.

Do you provide any other registers in addition to the five statutory registers?

Where possible, we can also provide a register of transfers, register of allotments, and register of director’s usual residential addresses, on request.

Can I use my ten company changes on a different company?

As part of this service we will carry out up to ten company secretarial changes to your company per year. This only applies to the company that the Full Company Secretary Service has been purchased for.

Is this service available to every company type?

This service is available to all private companies limited by shares and guarantee. Unfortunately, it is not available to limited liability partnerships or PLCs.

I have some filings that need to be made with Companies House. Will you submit them for me?

Yes. If you have already prepared supporting documentation for a company change that is within the scope of this service, and you would like us to make the filing at Companies House, this will count as one of your ten annual company changes.

Do you provide any other company change services in addition to those listed?

Yes. We offer a comprehensive range of company secretarial services, including the creation of multiple share classes, subdivision of shares, reduction of share capital, and more. Additional fees apply to this work, which will be confirmed with you before the work is undertaken.

How do you file my confirmation statement?

We will email you a questionnaire prior to your Confirmation Statement's filing date. Once this questionnaire has been completed, we will prepare and file for confirmation statement as appropriate. The Companies House filing fee is included within the price of this service.

Will you sign any documentation on behalf of my company?

No. We do not sign any documentation on behalf of a company.

Are there any compliance requirements?

We will carry out identity verification checks on all beneficial owners and directors associated with the company.
