Company Secretarial

The Companies Act places strict obligations on companies to submit the required documents according to deadlines.

Running a company involves more than just day-to-day operations—there are also strict legal and regulatory obligations that must be met. The Companies Act requires businesses to prepare and submit a range of statutory documents within specific deadlines, and failure to comply can result in penalties, reputational damage, or even prosecution.

At Four Fifty Partnership, we take the burden off your shoulders by managing your company secretarial duties with precision and efficiency. Our service gives you the confidence that everything is handled correctly, on time, and in full compliance with the law.

Our services include:

  • Preparation and filing of statutory returns – ensuring you never miss a deadline
  • Drafting of minutes and resolutions – maintaining proper records of key company decisions
  • Company formations – handling all aspects of setting up new entities
  • Company searches – providing accurate, up-to-date information when you need it
  • Registered office – use our address as your registered office and director’s service address(es) to protect your privacy
  • Identity verification – as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) we can verify your identity on behalf of Companies House to meet new legislative requirements

Company secretarial work goes beyond administration—it is an essential part of good governance and compliance. By outsourcing these responsibilities to our experienced team, you not only reduce risk but also free up valuable time to focus on strategy and growth.

We act as a trusted partner, making sure your company remains compliant and well-prepared, while giving directors and stakeholders the peace of mind that all statutory obligations are being met.

Let Four Fifty Partnership take care of the detail, so you can concentrate on running your business with confidence. Contact our team today to discuss how we can support your company secretarial needs.

Fee Protection Service

To give our clients even greater peace of mind, we offer a fee protection service. For a small annual fee, you are protected against the professional costs of dealing with an HMRC investigation. This service is backed by an insurance policy held by the firm, ensuring that if you are selected for an enquiry, our fees for handling the process are covered.

As part of this service, you will also have access to a business, employment and legal helpline, giving you expert advice on a wide range of legal matters whenever you need it.

Dealing with HMRC without expert support can be daunting. We not only remove the stress of handling the investigation yourself but also use our knowledge of tax law and procedure to ensure your rights are protected and your liabilities are minimised.

Our approach is professional, discreet, and proactive. We explain the process clearly, keep you fully informed, and work tirelessly to resolve matters as quickly and smoothly as possible.

If you are facing an HMRC investigation, don’t panic—let us do the hard work for you. Contact our team today to discuss your situation and to find out more about the protection and peace of mind offered by our fee protection service.
