We will conduct a comparison of your Company Registers with what has been filed with Companies House and flag any discrepancies. We will also check that your Company Registers are fully completed, including whether your PSCs are correctly named and filed and that your articles of association are fit for purpose.

You will receive a report detailing our findings and highlighting any urgent issues that need resolving. We can provide a quote for any work needed to remedy any errors or missing filings that falls outside a CoSec Services subscription.

The law requires that every company submit a confirmation statement (CS01) to Companies House at least once a year. The confirmation statement confirms the current shareholders in the company as well as its issued share capital, directors and details of any person who is a 'Person with Significant Control'. Failure to file a confirmation statement on time is a criminal offence and can lead to directors being personally fined. Companies can also be struck off the Register of Companies for persistent failure to file a confirmation statement. As part of our CoSec Services package, we will take full responsibility for filing your CS01, and check it with you before sending it to Companies House.

Every company, even if it is non-trading or dormant, must file a set of accounts with Companies House every year. There is an automatic and substantial fine for late delivery. Did you know that Companies House collected over £90m in late filing fees last year alone? To ensure you file your accounts on time, ProSec will send you plenty of email reminders so that you and your accountants have everything ready well before the filing deadline. Also, if you send us the accounts, we will file these on your behalf.

Has any director resigned from or been appointed to your board? Has your company issued any shares? Is your company changing its articles of association? Have the shareholders passed a special resolution? Do you want to change the company name? If so, you will need to complete the relevant form and possibly pass board minutes and written resolutions and file everything at Companies House. There are other actions that require a filing. If you are unsure as to whether or not you need to make a filing, we are here to help and, if we decide that a filing is necessary, we will do that for you.

A person with significant influence or control (a PSC) is a person who has the right to exercise, or actually exercises, significant influence or control over a company. This could be through holding 25% or more of the shares and/or voting rights in a company, having a right to appoint or remove a majority of the board of directors, or any other means that enables that individual to exert a material amount of influence or control over a company. Confused? We can help you establish if your company has any PSCs and, if so, comply with the Companies House PSC notification requirements.

ProSec are obliged by law to carry out AML (anti-money laundering) checks on any new client by running KYC checks on the company, the PSCs and any Director we are dealing with directly who is not a PSC. We use an e-verification tool to carry out all of our AML checks which makes it much quicker and simpler for you. For each individual, we need photo ID (passport or driving licence) and proof of address from the last 3 months. For any non-UK companies we need certified copies of the Articles of Association, Incorporation certificate and Register of Members. We update our AML checks every 12 months.

We also offer bespoke services including digitising your company registers; creating board minutes, shareholder resolutions, share certificates, articles of association, a cap table and shareholder agreements; dissolving your company; VAT registration; data protection registration with the ICO; being your agent for service of process and nominee/trust arrangements, registering your company on the Register of Overseas Entities or just running a CoSec MOT to check whether everything is in order.
