Company Secretary Service
UK legislation requires all limited companies to
maintain and publish records relating to the
governance of a company – including residential
management companies. This serves to protect
investors, employees and other stakeholders.
Traditionally, this is the responsibility of the
Company Secretary, a senior Administrative
Officer whose presence is crucial for the smooth
running of any commercial business.
As a
limited company, Resident Management Companies
are not exempt from these same legal
requirements. However, there are differences
that do exist between commercial companies and
RMCs – an area that is too easily ignored or
side-lined by Directors of Resident Management
Companies. Failure to meet the company’s legal
requirements can sometimes delay the sale of a
unit within the development and, in extreme
cases, may make a Resident Management Company
Director(s) liable to fines under Company Law.
We can act as your RMC's company secretary.
To include all submission of audited accounts,
annual returns and any other correspondence to
the registrar of companies. Employing MKDP
Properties' company secretarial services can
provide any Resident Management Company
Directors and shareholders with peace of mind
that the company’s legal obligations are being
handled by qualified professionals.
