Keeping your company or LLP legally compliant is an essential part of running a business. Dealing with company law and administration matters can be confusing, time consuming and costly if not managed correctly. This is where Ince can help.
We provide a professional, efficient and complete corporate support service tailored to your specific business requirements, all on a cost-effective basis - saving you time and money. Our skilled team are able to provide this service using specialist industry software.
Our services Forming a company or LLP If you are looking to register any form of limited liability company or limited liability partnership, our team will ensure that all the necessary registration formalities are taken care of in a timely fashion. Technical advice Our team can advise on technical company secretarial matters and all aspects of company law and compliance. We also have the resources to offer specialist legal advice in specific areas of practice. Registered office service A company must have a registered address in the country of its registration where legal documents can be served. The address must be shown on its business stationery (including emails and website). Our registered office service includes mail forwarding, usually in PDF format by email, or in accordance with your specific instructions. Appointment of corporate secretary Public limited companies are required to have a company secretary. Althought it is no longer a statutory requirement for private companies, many find it necessary or convenient to retain one. Through our dedicated company, Ince GD Corporate Services Limited, we can be your appointed company secretary and undertake related compliance tasks, on behalf of the company and its officers. Alternatively, we can provide you with company secretarial support on an ad hoc basis.
