Company Secretarial

At Burness we understand that regulatory compliance and corporate governance are increasingly important in the current economic climate - and that penalties for failures and mistakes are more significant than ever before.

Our company secretarial service allows you to free up your key staff to concentrate on commercial and strategic matters. Clients range from sole director companies through to listed public limited companies. Our aim is to ensure that your company complies with the various statutory requirements laid down by the Companies Acts and other related legislation.

The team combines the skills of professional chartered secretaries, corporate and tax lawyers to provide a highly effective company, partnership and trust formation service. Our service is fast and accurate and we can, within one working day, set up corporate bodies - including limited partnerships and companies. And our expertise also extends to the registration of foreign companies having a UK Establishment.

The team can help with guidance in choosing your company name to ensure that it complies with any statutory requirements. We can also advise where sensitive words are proposed, and help you obtain the necessary approval for these.

For clients incorporated in Scotland without a place of business here, we’re able to provide registered office and mail forwarding services. We’re also able to provide the directors of your company with a service address facility to protect their residential address details.

We can access worldwide company searches, including domain name registers and other trademark listings.
