All businesses that trade as a limited company may wish to nominate someone as their Company Secretary. Even though they are an officer of the company, the Secretary does not have the same level of responsibilities as a Director but they do have to perform certain administrative duties such as: preparing and filing Annual Returns at Companies House, issuing shares, recording the Minutes of Board Meetings and Resolutions and maintaining the Company’s Records. SMS can either perform this function for a limited company or can assist the in-house Company Secretary.
