Coddan can provide a variety of services to assist you with running your company. From simply providing a registered office to a full anonymity package with nominee director, secretary and shareholder. Once the company is registered, we can provide a company secretary service to ensure that the company complies with its obligations for filing returns and maintaining an accurate register. The company secretary is one of the two officers that every company must have to fulfil the basic requirements of UK Company Law. Even if the director conducts day-to-day business entirely alone it is a requirement that another person takes on the role of secretary. Coddan CPM performs this role for clients who do not have a suitable person willing to accept the role or for non-UK residents who require a signatory within the United Kingdom. NEED HELP?

Every United Kingdom limited company must have a company secretary (Companies Act 1985 section 283) who will perform a variety of tasks crucial to the smooth running of the company, which includes ensuring that the company's statutory obligations are complied with. Coddan CPM will act as your United Kingdom company nominee secretary or as a Joint Company Secretary to ensure you are compliant with the Companies Act. As a rule, the corporate secretary does not have any involvement in the day to day operation of the business and does not become a signatory to any bank accounts.

Coddan CPM undertakes to countersign approved documents under the Director's instructions. Coddan CPM will not become involved in the affairs of the company but will act as signatory to documents only as required. Coddan relies on the director providing correct, up-to-date information to maintain the Register of officers, addresses, beneficiaries, business classification and other matters affecting the constitution of the company. Coddan CPM will complete and file the Annual Return on behalf of the company if the contract is current at the due date. The Director is responsible for providing correct information and indemnifies Coddan CPM against all liability for false or inaccurate declarations based on information provided to, or withheld from us.

The Companies Act requires every company to have a secretary and, as far as PLCs are concerned, stipulates levels of experience and qualification for such appointees. The range of duties undertaking by company secretaries is probably as numerous as the numbers of companies in existence, which makes general guidance regarding their duties somewhat difficult.

Any appointment and changes of directors or company secretary must be notified to the Companies Registry (Forms 288 (a), 288 (b) and 288 (c)) and properly documented.

If yours is a public company, you must have a company secretary who is suitably qualified and experienced to perform his duties. Specifically he or she should have a legal, accounting or company secretarial qualification or sufficient experience in a comparable job to perform the duties inherent in the position. In a private company the company secretary does not have to hold formal qualifications - however, the directors of a private company would be failing in their duties if they appointed a company secretary who did not have the appropriate skills and experience.

The directors must appoint at least one person to serve as company secretary. A person here includes a company and it is common within a group of companies to have a service company within the group acting as company secretary to other group companies.

The role of company secretary may most appropriately be the responsibility of an administrative director, finance director, chief accountant or the like. Only in larger quoted companies will the job of company secretary normally be the full extent of a full-time employee's duties.

Keeping up with Companies House requirements is now more complicated and time-consuming than ever for company directors. Our professional and experienced team can provide nominee company secretarial services to your company.

In the case of smaller companies, it may be simpler to appoint an outside adviser such as a Coddan CPM to act as your UK company nominee secretary and deal with your statutory requirements. When you decide to perform the company secretarial function internally and appoint an employee or director as company secretary, rather than appointing an outside adviser or service company to fulfil the role, the job of company secretary will usually include management of administrative matters, including possibly the accounting function, and liaising with other external professional advisers.

The secretary is the chief administrator for the company. He or she normally takes charge of ensuring that any documents, which need to be sent to Companies House, are sent on time. The secretary can also be a director, and therefore have the same responsibilities as the other directors. If the secretary isn't a director, he or she is still is an officer of the company and is responsible for it's actions (with the exception of the companies accounts, which are the personal responsibility of the directors).

AMONGST OTHER THINGS, THE COMPANY SECRETARY OF ANY UK COMPANY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR:
Completing and filing the Annual Return;
Filing the Annual Accounts;
Maintaining the registers that a UK company is required to keep by Law;
Filing information on changes in directors'/secretaries' details;
Filing information on appointment/resignation of directors and secretaries;
Filing information on change in registered office;
Filing information regarding changes in shareholdings and share structure;
Issuing share certificates;
Issuing share certificates;
Issuing dividend vouchers;
Making arrangements for company meetings;
Maintaining the minute book.



How to be a company secretary?

The directors of public and private limited companies are legally required to appoint a company secretary. The company secretary acts as the company's chief administrative officer and is responsible for a broad range of corporate governance duties answerable to Companies House. The position must not be taken lightly for obvious reasons; any default by the company can lead to civil charges being brought against the directors and the company secretary. Equally, any breach of trust or duty by the company secretary can be severely penalised by Companies House - particularly in relation to the company's assets where the penalties can be very severe indeed. Companies House is especially strict concerning the timing of filing of company accounts and will impose standard fines automatically if deadlines are not met. Don't let these penalties deter you though; if you abide by the rules set out very clearly by Companies House, with the correct attitude you should have little cause for concern.

In addition to complying with the requirements of company law the company secretary needs to adhere to and have an ever increasing understanding of United Kingdom and EU legislation concerning the administration and running of a business. What we aim to do in this section is to give you a basic understanding of a company secretary's duties and what those duties entail throughout the year. Below is a brief list of the secretary's main roles and on the following page is a breakdown of those roles in more detail.

LIST OF STANDARD DUTIES:
Administration of personnel matters;
