Businesses of all sizes are faced with increasing challenges in the administration of legal entities. You will need to ensure that you are compliant with all the requirements and laws. As businesses grow, maintaining an overview of these activities and managing their risk is challenging.
Our principal aim is to ensure you avoid compliance defaults and meet filing deadlines reducing the costs of fines and mitigating the risk of prosecution.
Company Formation
When you set up a company there is a myriad of form filling. We can register your company name, provide a certificate of incorporation and assist with the company’s memorandum and articles of association. We file all necessary forms with the Registrar of Companies.
Provision of Registered Facilities
Formal legal notices are sent to a company’s registered office. As your accountants we can host your registered office. This ensures that your important mail is dealt with promptly.
Changes in Directors & Company Secretaries
When you appoint a new director or company secretary, the Registrar of Companies needs to be informed. We will complete the necessary information and send it to Companies House.
Amendments to Memorandum & Articles of Association
Sometimes you need to change the company’s constitution, for example to increase the authorised share capital or to permit a purchase by the company of its own shares. We draft the necessary resolution, file a copy with the Registrar of Companies, and write up the statutory books.
Company Searches
If you wish to find out information about other companies, we have an adept research team with access to a company’s information database plus we can assess the information filed at Companies House. More in-depth research about other companies can be performed by our Corporate Finance department.
Document Verification
If you have been asked to supply certified copies of your original documents, Harrison Accountants can certify that the copies presented/produced are a true likeness of the original document/s.
If you’re providing photocopies to the recipient company, you’ll need to ensure that these are like-for-like with the originals. We’ll check up to three original documents against the photocopies and certify that each is a true likeness.
Which documents can I get checked?
- Passport
- Driving licence
- Recent utility bills
- Bank statements
Scanning & Filing
Now more than ever businesses are looking for ways to go paperless. The convenience of being able to keep records, save files, store large amounts of information and more importantly have the information to hand at all times makes it very attractive. This is why we offer to support our clients with implementing a paperless approach. We aim to achieve this within our own office and encourage others to do so for many beneficial reasons.
Photocopying
Photocopies can be produced from original documents if their condition allows. Where documents are bound, delicate or larger than A3, we can offer digital copying and colour printing instead.
Shredding & Disposal
Financial information or non-financial information for that matter when running a business can be sensitive and confidential. The importance of disposing sensitive information cannot be underestimated and for this reason we provide shredding & disposal services for the convenience of our clients.
