What Is The Company Secretarial Company Formation Package — £154.99 All-In?

The Company Secretarial package is a fully comprehensive, year-round compliance service that handles your corporate administrative changes for a single fixed fee of £154.99 per year. Designed for active business owners who need to make multiple company updates, it completely removes the headache of filing individual statutory forms and paying separate transaction fees. Form My Company is the right place to secure this service because our in-house compliance experts manage the complex legal paperwork, leaving you entirely free to run your day-to-day operations.

What the Company Secretarial Includes

Annual Confirmation Statement Filing (CS01)

The Confirmation Statement is a strict statutory requirement under the Companies Act 2006, replacing the traditional Annual Return. Every UK limited company must file this document with Companies House at least once every 12 months to confirm that the corporate data held on the public register remains accurate. It covers critical details such as your registered office, shareholder information, statement of capital, and standard industrial classification (SIC) codes. Failing to file this legal update is a criminal offence that can lead to directors facing personal fines and the eventual compulsory striking off of the company.

You receive complete preparation, review, and electronic submission of your statement well ahead of the mandatory deadline, with the £100 Companies House fee fully covered by this package. We proactively monitor your filing dates and prompt you for any structural changes, ensuring your company never misses this crucial legal obligation. This gives you absolute certainty that your core corporate record is up to date without having to navigate the government portal or decipher complex statutory questions yourself. It keeps your business in good standing.

Director and Officer Appointments or Resignations

Managing corporate officers involves officially updating the public record whenever a director or company secretary joins or leaves the business. Under current corporate law, companies have exactly 14 days to notify Companies House of these board changes using specific statutory forms, such as the AP01 for an individual appointment or TM01 for a termination. These filings must accurately reflect the exact dates of the change and include the necessary personal details without violating data privacy guidelines or exposing directors to unnecessary public risk.

Whenever your leadership team shifts, we draft the required appointment or resignation documents and submit them directly to the registrar on your behalf. You simply tell us who is stepping in or stepping out, and our compliance team handles the formal lodgement process. This ensures your legal directors are recorded correctly at all times, protecting exiting officers from ongoing corporate liability and granting new directors their rightful legal authority without administrative delays.

Registered Office Address Alterations

A registered office address is the official legal address of a UK limited company, as strictly mandated by corporate law. It acts as the destination for all statutory mail from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and Companies House, including tax reminders and penalty notices. When a business moves its operational base or switches its official address provider, an AD01 form must be filed to formalise the change on the public register. Until this specific filing is fully processed and accepted by the registrar, the old address remains legally binding for all statutory correspondence.

As part of this comprehensive package, you get unlimited registered office address updates processed entirely by our internal team. We execute the formal change promptly so that your statutory mail routes correctly to your new location without interruption. This prevents highly sensitive government notices or legal documents from falling into the wrong hands or going missing at a previous business address.

Share Allotments and Transfers Management

Issuing new shares or moving existing ones between individuals is a heavily regulated procedure requiring strict adherence to the company’s Articles of Association and the Companies Act 2006. Allotting new shares involves filing an SH01 form to update your statement of capital, while transferring existing shares requires the execution of a J30 Stock Transfer form and potentially paying Stamp Duty to HMRC. Both actions directly alter the ownership structure, dividend rights, and voting power of the business.

Our team takes over the expert administration of your company’s share structure, ensuring that any new investments or ownership changes are legally watertight. We prepare the necessary board minutes, draft the formal transfer documents, and file the capital updates with the government. This means you can bring on new partners, reward key employees with equity, or restructure your ownership without worrying about invalidating the shares or triggering unexpected tax compliance issues.

Maintenance of Statutory Registers

Maintaining statutory registers is an absolute legal duty for every UK limited company, entirely distinct from the information held publicly at Companies House. These internal records, often kept at the registered office or a Single Alternative Inspection Location (SAIL), include the definitive register of members, directors, secretaries, and active charges. Keeping these ledgers accurate and available for public inspection is legally required, and neglecting them can result in severe financial penalties during a corporate audit or legal due diligence process.

Our service takes over the ongoing digital upkeep of your internal company books, updating the registers automatically whenever a structural change occurs within the business. You receive a professionally maintained digital record that is highly secure and always audit-ready. If you decide to sell the business, bring on investors, or apply for significant bank funding, your statutory books will be pristine, preventing last-minute panic or costly legal cleanup operations.

Accounting Reference Date (ARD) Alterations

The Accounting Reference Date defines the exact end of a company’s financial year and dictates the strict statutory deadlines for filing annual accounts and corporation tax returns. Sometimes, a business needs to shorten or extend this reporting period to align with a parent company’s timeline or to better suit seasonal trading patterns. Altering this date requires the precise filing of an AA01 form before the current filing deadline expires, and companies are subject to specific statutory limitations, such as only being able to extend their financial year once every five years.

We process any required changes to your financial year-end quickly and accurately to keep you compliant. You tell us your preferred new reporting date, and we execute the filing to legally adjust your accounting deadlines. This flexibility allows you to manage your tax planning and accountancy costs effectively, ensuring your financial reporting fits the practical reality of your business cycle rather than an arbitrary calendar date.

Company Name Changes

Rebranding a registered entity involves a formal process to change the legal company name at Companies House, which requires either a special resolution passed by the shareholders or a specific decision by the board of directors. A NM01 form must be filed, along with the appropriate government fee and a copy of the written resolution. The new name is subject to strict availability rules and must not contain restricted or sensitive wordssuch as “British” or “Association”without supporting permission from the relevant regulatory authorities.

Your package covers the entire administrative burden of executing a corporate rebrand. We draft the necessary shareholder resolutions, perform the detailed legal checks on your proposed new name, and handle the formal submission to the registrar. You are free to pivot your brand identity to capture new market opportunities, knowing the underlying legal entity is updated correctly and you will receive your new Certificate of Incorporation on Change of Name without hassle.

People with Significant Control (PSC) Register Updates

The PSC register is a critical transparency measure introduced by the government to combat corporate opacity and money laundering. Companies must accurately identify and record the individuals who hold more than 25% of the shares or voting rights, or who otherwise exercise significant influence over the business. Any changes to these beneficial owners must be updated on the company’s internal register within 14 days and subsequently filed with Companies House to keep the public record completely accurate.

We actively manage your PSC filings to ensure your business remains in full compliance with these stringent transparency laws, while simultaneously shielding you with robust fraud protection measures against unauthorised corporate changes. When your shareholder structure shifts or voting rights change, we determine the exact PSC implications and submit the required updates on your behalf. This protects you from the severe compliance risks associated with hiding beneficial ownership, giving you confidence that your corporate structure is completely transparent and legally sound.

Is the Company Secretarial Right for You?

This package is designed specifically for active business owners who anticipate restructuring their board, reallocating shares, or updating their official address multiple times over the coming year. Rather than paying £30 to £50 for every individual form you file, you want a single, predictable annual fee that covers all your compliance administration. You prefer knowing professionals are handling the statutory paperwork while you focus heavily on your operations. If that sounds like you, Form My Company makes it straightforward.
