Overview
What corporate secretarial covers
Secretarial work is invisible until someone asks for it — an investor in due diligence, a bank onboarding you, an auditor testing your records. Then it is the only thing that matters.
We maintain your statutory registers, prepare resolutions and minutes, and make sure decisions are documented properly at the point they are made rather than reconstructed later.
Problems this solves
What usually goes wrong
Registers that do not survive due diligence
Incomplete registers slow transactions and raise questions about everything else.
Decisions never documented
Resolutions taken verbally and never written up are difficult to evidence afterwards.
Reconstructing records under pressure
Assembling years of minutes during a transaction is expensive and rarely convincing.
No governance rhythm
Board meetings without agendas or minutes leave nothing behind.

Questions
Corporate Secretarial FAQ
If something is not covered here, a consultation is the fastest way to get a straight answer.
Ask a questionThe formal records a company must keep of its members, directors, secretaries and persons with significant control, along with share transactions. They are legally required and separate from what appears on the public register.
Usually, to a large extent. We reconstruct from filings, share certificates and board records, and document clearly what could and could not be evidenced. That honest record is far stronger than an invented one.
We can, and we prepare the agenda and minutes either way. Many clients ask us to attend quarterly meetings only.
Yes. If your records are already maintained by us, this is usually a matter of days rather than weeks.
Company Administration covers filings and routine housekeeping. Corporate Secretarial covers governance: registers, resolutions and minutes. Most clients on Operate have both.
Whether a formal appointment is required depends on the jurisdiction and company type. We confirm what applies to you and can act in that capacity where appropriate.
