Company Secretarial Services & Business Administration
From 6 April 2008 there is no longer a requirement for a company to have a named company secretary; however, the duties that would have been performed by a company secretary are still required. It is expected that the director would perform these duties however; WestOne Business Services can undertake these duties on behalf of your company.
