Rounds and hires stall when records don’t match reality. We keep Companies House, your registers and your cap table in step—so diligence feels routine, not risky.
When to use this
- You want someone to own filings and registers so nothing slips between sprints.
- You’re preparing for a round and need your cap table and filing history to line up.
- Director/PSC changes, share issues, or a new share class are coming and you want clean documents, on time.
- An investor or accountant has flagged gaps you’d like fixed—properly, not patched.

How we deliver
Discovery. Send your Companies House link, last CS01, cap table and any pain points.
Scope & fixed fee. We confirm what’s included, what’s not, and the turnaround.

Pricing notes
Our outsourced company secretarial annual packages are fixed. One-offs show “from” prices because complexity varies; we still convert the estimate into a single fixed fee before work starts. CH fees are included where stated or passed through at cost.
Timeline

Inputs we’ll need
- Your Companies House profile URL and last CS01.
- Current cap table (spreadsheet or platform export).
- Minute book/registers (as they are, even if messy).
- Planned events (director/PSC changes, issues, transfers, option grants).
- Any investor/accountant notes we should address.
FAQs
What’s the difference between “routine changes” and project work?
Routine = officer/PSC updates, address changes, simple corrections and scheduled filings. Project work covers larger tasks (share reclassifications, bulk transfers, historic reconstructions). We’ll label it clearly and fix-fee it before we start.
Our filing history doesn’t match our registers—where do we begin?
With a quick audit. We compare the public record to your minute book, list the gaps, then file what’s missing in a sensible order so the public trail makes sense. You finish with clean registers and receipts for your data room
Will you handle the cap table or do we do it?
We can lead or support. For annual plans we’ll run a sanity check and supply a before/after note. If you want deeper help—scenario notes before a round, or full reconstruction—we’ll scope it as a one-off or fold it into Investor-Ready
Why outsource your Company Secretarial
An investor asks for a diligence pack on Wednesday. By Thursday, you’ve discovered your public record and your binder don’t quite agree. This is where company secretarial services earn their keep. We pull your Companies House profile, the last Confirmation Statement (CS01) and whatever minute book you have – polished, partial or scribbled – and line the two up so nobody on the other side raises an eyebrow.
Some fixes are simple. A PSC register that names the right person but not the right date. A director appointment filed, but the resignation never made it online. An SH01 that exists in a board pack yet somehow missed the portal. We cross-reference, draft what’s missing, and file in an order that tells a clean story.
The filing history audit and gap analysis is short by design: what’s wrong, what it means, and the quickest path to fix it. You get drafts ready to sign and filing receipts for the data room. No mystery steps. No drama.
The cap table gets the same attention. We run a sanity check before a round so the numbers add up and every share movement appears in the registers. If history is messy, founder transfers that never reached the ledger, option exercises parked in someone’s inbox – we’ll do a careful registers reconstruction and explain the before/after so your accountant and your investor see the same picture.
Prefer predictability? Take an annual plan and outsource your company secretarial requirements: CS01 prepared and filed, registers maintained, reminders that actually arrive when you need them, plus a yearly cap table review. If you only need a hand today, book a one-off – filing history audit & gap analysis, registers reconstruction, or SH01/SH02 prep. Either way, we scope first and price as a fixed fee you sign off before work starts.
End result: a public record that matches the facts, a tidy paper trail, and a team free to focus on the work that moves the company forward.
