Registered Office and Secretarial Services

There are a number of administrative and record keeping obligations upon companies registered in England and Wales with which a company and its officers are legally obliged to comply.

These include filing an annual return which records changes in membership and individual shareholdings as well as an obligation to keep the company's books properly up to date.  

Legal proceedings can be commenced against the officers of a company which has not filed the required documentation at Companies House.  

Warners can assist you with your statutory obligations by providing a registered office service, which includes the following:

• Use of Warners' office as the company's registered office address 
• Checking company stationery to ensure it complies with the relevant statutory provisions 
• Completing Companies House formalities in relation to resignation/appointment of company directors and secretary 
• Completing company's annual return 
• Writing up the company's statutory records as required including dealing with the transfer or allotment of company shares

• Reconstituting lost or incomplete statutory records (if necessary) 

The charges for providing this service will depend upon the nature and size of the company concerned and the extent of the instruction. Prices typically start at around £175 - £250 plus VAT per annum.
