If your business is registered with Companies House, you need to understand the duties of a Company Secretary. Under the Companies Act 2006 (the Act), private companies do not have to appoint a company secretary; the role can be fulfilled by the company's directors or outsourced.
As an officer of the company, the company secretary is potentially liable (along with the directors) for certain breaches of the Act. So, if you decide not to appoint a Company Secretary you need to make sure that all the functions are carried out on time and by the requirements of Companies House. Ultimately even if you have a Company Secretary, the directors are legally responsible for the company.
Here is a list of the duties which need to be carried out to ensure compliance; this list is not exhaustive but gives some indication of how we can help you.
