COMPANY SECRETARY SERVICES

ON-GOING MAINTENANCE AND COMPLIANCE OF
A PRIVATE COMPANY LIMITED BY SHARES

Nominee Company Secretary

Every limited company must have a Company Secretary (Hong Kong Companies Ordinance) who will perform a variety of tasks crucial to the smooth running of the company, which includes ensuring that the company's statutory obligations are complied with.

We provide a company secretarial service to ensure that these important statutory requirements are fulfilled, leaving the day to day running of the company to the directors. We ensure that all the company's statutory requirements are met, including the filing of the accounts and annual returns (subject to the receipt of all requisite documents).

As your Company Secretary, we will prepare other documents in respect of changes to the company structure as and when they occur. Such matters will include allotment of shares, transfer of shares and appointments and resignations of officers.
• Maintaining the Register of Directors and Secretary
• Issuing share certificates and recording transfers of shares
• Maintaining the Register of Members and Debenture Holders
• Arranging for charges to be registered and recorded in the Register of Charges
• Preparation and submission of the Annual Returns
• Filing of documents at the Companies Registry including changes of registered office, changes of directors and secretary

Our fee for this service is USD275.00 per year.

Company Formation Services - Registered Office

Every company must have a Registered Office at which official documents can be served (Hong Kong Companies Ordinance) and this address should be displayed on all business letterheads and order forms of the company.

The Registered Office address need not be the company's place of business, and is often the address of a company that provides company formation services such as GT Corporate Services Limited or that of a solicitor or accountant or even one of the directors home address.

Official documents, such as documents from a court, are normally served on a company at its Registered Office, and official correspondence is usually sent to the Registered Office, for example official letters from the Inland Revenue Department and the Registrar of Companies.

The address must be in Hong Kong for companies registered in Hong Kong.

If you do not have a suitable address, or if you would prefer not to use your own address, we can provide you with a Registered Office.

Our standard fee for our Registered Office service is USD175 per year.
