What we look after

Investments properly recorded

Every share issue is backed by the right board and shareholder resolutions, application forms, share certificates and an updated register of members, with the SH01 filed at Companies House on time.

Companies House that reflects your business

Directors, registered office, people with significant control and share capital kept up to date, and your confirmation statement filed every year.

Statutory registers and minutes

Registers of members, directors and allotments, board minutes and written resolutions maintained and ready to share in a due diligence data room.

Closing funding rounds

We work alongside your lawyers to close investment rounds: preparing the share allotment paperwork, updating the cap table, filing with Companies House and handling SEIS or EIS compliance so investors receive their certificates.

Share schemes and changes

Share transfers, new share classes, changes to articles and buybacks, handled with the right filings and records.

Identity verification and deadlines

We track filing deadlines and help directors and people with significant control complete Companies House identity verification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do company records matter to investors?

Investors check your share capital, registers and filings during due diligence. Gaps or mismatches slow the round down and can raise questions about how the business is run.

Do you replace our lawyers on a funding round?

No. Your lawyers draft and negotiate the investment documents. We handle the company secretarial side, the Companies House filings and the SEIS or EIS paperwork, and work alongside them to close the round.

Our records are out of date. Can you help?

Yes. We review what has been filed at Companies House against your own records and put right anything that is missing or wrong.

Can you act as our company secretary?

Yes. We can take on the company secretarial role for you, whether or not your company has formally appointed a secretary.
