Company Secretary Services

A company's secretarial function keeps the board, the Registrar and its shareholders in sync โ€” resolutions, ROC filings, statutory registers and governance advice, handled through the year.

Quick answer

Company Secretary services cover the secretarial and corporate governance work a company or LLP needs โ€” drafting and recording board and shareholder resolutions, maintaining statutory registers and minute books, filing annual and event-based forms with the Registrar of Companies, coordinating secretarial audits where applicable, and advising the board on compliance under the Companies Act. It's the ongoing link between a company's internal decisions and its regulatory record.

Why choose us

Where secretarial compliance slips

What sets our approach apart.

Registers not kept current

Statutory registers that fall out of date make it harder to respond quickly when a filing or audit is due.

Event-based filings missed

Changes like director appointments or share allotments each carry their own ROC filing deadline, easy to miss without tracking.

Secretarial audit applicability overlooked

Companies sometimes miss that they've crossed the threshold requiring a secretarial audit for the year.
