Answers to the questions Westminster company directors most frequently ask about corporate secretarial obligations and Companies House compliance.
Westminster is home to thousands of limited companies in regulated sectors — financial services, legal, property, and public affairs — where governance records are scrutinised by regulators, lenders, and sophisticated investors. Professional company secretary services ensure Confirmation Statements are filed on time, statutory registers are accurate, board minutes are legally sound, and Companies House records always reflect the true company position.
Westminster limited companies must file an annual Confirmation Statement (CS01) within 14 days of the confirmation date, file annual statutory accounts (within 9 months of year-end), report director appointments (AP01) and resignations (TM01) within 14 days, notify PSC changes within 14 days, file share allotments (SH01) within one month, and update Companies House within 14 days of any address change. Persistent failure leads to strike-off from the Companies House register.
Westminster hosts a significant concentration of FCA-authorised firms and investment managers with governance obligations extending beyond basic Companies House compliance. Our company secretary services for these clients cover: shareholder loan documentation, resolutions for FCA-notifiable events, ensuring director registers reflect approved persons correctly, documenting controlled function appointments, and maintaining statutory records needed during FCA audits. We coordinate directly with compliance officers and legal advisers.
Transferring shares in a Westminster company requires: checking Articles for pre-emption rights, passing a board resolution approving the transfer, completing a stock transfer form (J30), paying and adjudicating stamp duty with HMRC (0.5% of consideration above £1,000), updating the register of members, issuing a new share certificate, and reflecting the transfer in the next Confirmation Statement. For companies with investor shareholders or employee share schemes, additional documentation may be required. Sirus Infotech manages the complete transfer process.
Sirus Infotech can facilitate a UK registered office address through our trusted UK partners for Westminster-area companies. A prestigious Westminster or central London registered address enhances the professional standing of your company — particularly for international businesses incorporated in the UK or entrepreneurs working remotely. All official Companies House and HMRC correspondence is forwarded to the company's directors promptly on receipt.
Statutory registers must be updated in real time — every change to directors, shareholders, PSCs, charges, or company details requires an immediate update followed by the required Companies House notification. Annual review ahead of Confirmation Statement filing is best practice. Westminster companies in regulated sectors face additional register review requirements from their sector regulators. Sirus Infotech maintains your complete statutory register set and ensures all filings are made proactively before deadlines.
