The value of interim company secretarial services

Even with the best-laid plans in place, there are inevitably periods when an organisation’s company secretary or a member of the wider company secretarial team is rendered unavailable by illness, maternity leave or paternity leave, among the many other possibilities. This can happen at a time when the extra manpower is most needed – making it a good idea to seek appropriate in-house interim company secretarial services like those of London Registrars (http://www.london-registrars.co.uk).

Companies turn to London Registrars for company secretarial services of this nature, precisely because they know the ability of the business to provide such services matching their own specialised requirements. They are aware of the high standard of the company’s work that allowed it to obtain ISO 9001:2000 certification in July 2008 – since upgraded to ISO 9001:2008 – but that, more importantly, has also long enabled all manner of businesses to continue running efficiently, at every organisational level.

When a business requests company secretarial services from London Registrars for the purpose of filling a gap left by absent staff, they have several options – including that of cover from London Registrars’ office. Alternatively, a suitably qualified member of the London Registrars company secretarial team can be seconded to the client’s offices over a certain period, on a part time or full time basis. More temporary support may also be required for ad hoc projects, and again, the company can cover for any deficiency in the client team’s resources or free time.

Of everything that London Registrars has learned over its many years of providing company secretarial services, including of an interim and temporary nature, it has especially come to appreciate the extent to which a company’s complexity, nature and size impacts on its exact requirements. London Registrars has therefore ensured that its team possesses the considerable experience and knowhow, including in both public and private sector organisations, to deal with such a wide range of needs with aplomb. Members of the London Registrars team take a flexible approach in tailoring the company secretarial services that they provide.

In some instances, the company secretarial records of the client company may not be entirely up to date, making it advisable for a statutory and corporate governance compliance audit to be undertaken. Such a process provides the client firm with a comprehensive corporate ‘health check’, with information being reported on its compliance with the Companies Act 2006 (‘The Act’) as well as on such matters as the company’s statutory registers, statutory filing record, minute keeping, articles of association, share ownership and directors’ service contracts.

London Registrars is able to provide effective interim company secretarial services at every level while the usual company secretary is absent, managing vital processes and ensuring an orderly hand-over when they do finally return to work. Interested parties are welcome to contact London Registrars (http://www.london-registrars.co.uk) now for a more detailed discussion of their requirements.
