Company Secretarial Services in Manchester
The paperwork of running a limited company never stops: confirmation statements, director changes, share transfers, registered office requirements. We handle it all for companies across Greater Manchester, professionally and on time, so your record at Companies House is always clean.
What’s included.
Everything Companies House expects of a company, kept current without you thinking about it.
- Company formation, with the share structure and officers set up correctly from day one.
- Registered office services.
- Confirmation statements prepared and filed every year.
- Director and secretary appointments and resignations filed as they happen.
- Share transfers and new share allotments, with the paperwork behind them done properly.
- Dividend documentation prepared correctly and at the time, not reconstructed later.
- The register of people with significant control kept accurate.
- Companies House correspondence monitored, so nothing important sits unopened.
How it works.
For a new company, we form it properly: the right share structure for how you plan to take income and bring people in, officers and registered office set up correctly, and the tax registrations handled at the same time so the company is ready to trade. If you are weighing up whether to incorporate at all, our guide to starting a limited company is the place to begin.
For an existing company, we take over the statutory record, tidy anything that has drifted, and then keep it current: the confirmation statement filed each year, changes of director or shareholder filed as they happen, and registers maintained rather than reinvented in a panic when someone asks for them.
The quiet value is in the paperwork behind decisions. Dividends need documentation at the time they are paid; our guide to dividend planning and documentation explains why that matters when HMRC or a lender looks back. This work usually runs alongside year-end accounts for companies around Eccles and across Salford, so one firm sees the whole picture.
Who it’s for.
Anyone starting a company who wants it set up correctly the first time. Established owner-managed companies that want the statutory side simply dealt with. Partnerships converting to a company or an LLP, where the paperwork is the difference between a clean change and a mess.
And landlords holding property through a company, where a tidy statutory record matters to lenders every time the portfolio refinances.
It is unglamorous work, which is exactly why it gets neglected, and why a company’s public record so often disagrees with reality by the time anyone checks. Keeping it right continuously costs a fraction of putting it right under pressure.

Common questions.
What is a confirmation statement and when is it due?
It is the annual filing that confirms the information Companies House holds about your company is still correct: officers, shareholders, registered office and people with significant control. Every company must file one at least once a year, even a dormant one. We prepare and file it as part of the service, so the due date is never your problem.
Can you set up a limited company for me?
Yes, usually within a day or two. More important than speed is getting the share structure, officers and registered office right first time, because unpicking a rushed formation later costs far more than doing it properly. We also handle the tax registrations that follow, so the company is ready to trade, not just to exist.
What happens if I miss a Companies House filing?
Late accounts bring automatic penalties that increase the longer they are outstanding, and a company that persistently fails to file can ultimately be struck off the register. If you are already late, we bring the filings up to date quickly and deal with the correspondence. The better answer is the one this service exists for: never being late again.
Do I need a company secretary?
Most private limited companies are not required to appoint one, but the duties a secretary would have carried still exist: the registers, the filings, the paperwork behind decisions. This service covers those duties without the appointment.
Can you deal with dividend and share paperwork?
Yes. Dividends need to be supported by the right paperwork at the time they are paid, and share transfers and new allotments need filings and register entries behind them. We produce the documentation properly and on time, which matters far more than it seems until HMRC or a buyer asks to see it.
