Company secretarial services

Every company is required to appoint a Company Secretary.

As your company secretary, we maintain your company’s statutory register, prepare Annual General Meeting (AGM) documents and file the Annual Return. Leave compliance to us while you carry on with your business.

At times, some changes you make to your company and resolutions passed must be lodged with ACRA within a specified time frame. For example, when you add directors, change your registered office address or increase your share capital. We help you to lodge these changes with ACRA within the prescribed time frame so you comply with the law.

Non-compliance can result in penalties and negative consequences for directors. So delay it no further and have your company secretarial needs taken care of to meet regulatory compliance.

Every company is required to appoint a Company Secretary within six months from the date of its incorporation. The Company Secretary is primarily responsible for specific administrative and regulatory functions that are governed by the law.

Some examples include maintaining the company statutory registers and records, filing necessary documents required by law such as the Annual Return, providing administrative support in preparation of meetings such as the AGM.

↓ When is an Annual General Meeting due

An Annual General Meeting (AGM) is an annual meeting of shareholders that every company is required to hold by law.

The first AGM must be held within 18 months from the date of incorporation and not more than 6 months after the end of the financial year end. Subsequent AGMs must be held every year, not more than 15 months after the last AGM.

↓ When is the Annual Return due

Annual Return (AR) is a statutory return that needs to be filed with ACRA every year. The AR has to be filed within 1 month after the AGM.

Common examples of matters that need to be lodged with ACRA include (but are not limited to):

The prescribed time frame for lodgement with ACRA varies for the different types of filing and notification. This usually ranges from 14 days to 1 month. Companies should notify their company secretary of such matters promptly so that lodgements can be made on time.

↓ Share transfer and allotment

During the course of business, the company may wish to transfer shares or issue new shares to raise additional capital. We can assist you with the documentation and filings to be made with ACRA.

In a share transfer, we help to do up the relevant resolution and documents and lodge the transfer.

For issue and allotment of new shares, we will prepare the necessary resolutions and secretarial documentation. Once approved, we assist to make the lodgements with ACRA.

After the lodgements have been made, the company’s share records with ACRA will be updated and the new share capital information will be reflected in the company’s Business Profile.
