    Company Secretarial services in Surrey

    Company secretarial compliance is a basic company requirement and a sound long-term business investment. Many small businesses opt for a limited company structure because of the protection offered and the tax planning opportunities available. Eventually a corporate structure becomes inevitable as businesses grow.

    Whatever the stage of your business’ lifespan, incorporation inevitably means additional, time-consuming paperwork, the responsibility of the directors and the company secretary.

    As Surrey accountants and tax advisers, RJP understands the connection between the work undertaken by a company secretary and the amount you may be able to sell your company for, together with the impact company secretarial work can have on the company’s tax liabilities.

    This makes us uniquely placed not only to help clients comply with their legal obligations as company directors, but to seamlessly provide company secretarial advice alongside detailed tax advice to ensure both aspects are fully covered when any changes are made to a company’s structure.
