Company Secretarial Services for UK Businesses and Directors
Running a limited company in the UK comes with ongoing statutory and Companies House compliance responsibilities. Directors are legally required to ensure company filings, statutory registers, and corporate records are accurate, up to date, and submitted on time. As a business grows, these obligations become increasingly complex, time-consuming, and risky to manage without specialist support.
Our company secretarial services support UK businesses and directors with Companies House filings, statutory records, confirmation statements, company changes and ongoing company administration. We can also help you understand current Companies House identity verification requirements for directors and people with significant control (PSCs). Whether you operate a single limited company or manage multiple entities, we can help keep your company administration organised and your filing requirements on track.
We support:
- Limited companies and LLPs
- Owner-managed businesses
- Directors with multiple companies
- Growing and scaling businesses
- Businesses seeking outsourced compliance support
Why Company Secretarial Compliance Is Critical

Avoid Companies House Penalties and Legal Issues
Late filing of accounts can result in automatic financial penalties, while failure to file required information can lead to further enforcement action. We help you keep track of relevant Companies House deadlines and filing requirements.

Keep Statutory Records Accurate and Up to Date
Statutory registers must be accurate, current, and available when required. Errors in director details, shareholder records, or PSC information can create serious compliance issues.
Reduce Risk as Your Business Grows
Changes to directors, shareholders and company structure can create additional filing and record-keeping requirements. We help keep those requirements organised as your business develops.

Ian Luke and his team run an extremely professional outfit. When I first transitioned to a limited company, they guided me through the entire setup process and explained everything clearly, making what could have been a complicated journey feel straightforward and well-supported.
I have been assigned a dedicated Account Manager, Umair Iqbal, who has been nothing short of outstanding. He’s always available when I call, and if he’s tied up, he gets back to me the same day without fail. He explains everything patiently and clearly, is proactive in keeping me compliant, and genuinely takes the stress out of my company’s tax obligations. I’ve even entrusted them with my personal tax returns, and the service there has been just as seamless.
Accounting People handle all my VAT returns, corporation tax, and the full range of services you’d expect for managing a company’s tax liability — professionally, efficiently, and with real attention to detail.
