Click here to explore our article on the Hassle-Free Compliance Service.
Everyday overview
Once your subscription is active, you can:
- Log in to download business document templates
- Rely on us to track your Companies House deadlines
- Let us handle key filings and company register maintenance
- Ask questions by phone or email
- Join webinars and receive short monthly updates
- Request optional extras and discounted ad‑hoc work when your company changes
Why this matters
- Most founders did not start a company to learn about Companies House rules. We did.
- Compliance slips tend to happen when you are busy winning customers or hiring staff. We stay focused on deadlines and records so you don’t have to.
- If something is missed, penalties are often automatic and non‑negotiable. Having a specialist team watching your file is a simple way to avoid an expensive, time‑consuming mess later.
💡Think of it as a safety net: if you trip up on a deadline or detail, we are already there to catch you.
Using the Business Document Template Library
The library is for producing reliable contracts, policies and letters quickly, without paying a solicitor each time.
How to use it:
- Log in to your account
- Open the “Business Document Template Library”
- Search or browse for what you need (for example, “NDA”, “employment contract”, “website terms”)
- Read the short description to check if it fits your situation
- Download and customise the document for your business
Why it’s useful to let us provide the templates
- A single lawyer‑drafted document can cost more than a month of this service. You get 300+ of them, ready to edit.
- Because our team updates the library over time, you don't need to rely on outdated information from AI or the internet.
Making the most of deadline monitoring
What we monitor
- Confirmation statement due date
- Annual accounts due date
How it works
- We track these dates in the background.
- Before each deadline, we email you to explain what is due and what we need from you.
- Once you confirm the details, we complete the relevant filing where it's included in your service.
Why it’s useful to let us handle it
- Late filing penalties start at £150 and can escalate. Avoiding just one penalty can more than cover a year of service.
- We follow a consistent process for every company we look after, which reduces the risk of human error.
- If Companies House rules change, we adjust our process for all clients at once, so you don’t have to keep up with the details.
What you should do
- Keep your contact email up to date and check it regularly.
- Respond promptly when you receive a reminder.
Getting support and staying informed
Phone and email support
Use this when you face a practical question, such as:
- “What do I need to do if I appoint a new director?”
- “We’ve moved office – what needs changing?”
Webinars and newsletter
- Webinars explain changes (like new Companies House reforms) in simple language, with time for your questions.
- The monthly “Hints, Tips & Tricks” email highlights common pitfalls and simple actions to stay safe.
Why it’s useful to lean on our team
- Instead of searching online and hoping the answer is correct, you speak to people who work with these rules every day.
- You stay ahead of changes without spending evenings reading legal updates.
- You get reassurance: a quick check with us can stop a small issue turning into a bigger problem.
Filings and company registers
Confirmation statement
- We prepare and submit your confirmation statement using the information we hold, plus any updates you provide.
- You pay the Companies House fee; we handle timing and submission.
Dormant accounts (if you have never traded)
- Let us know that your company is dormant.
- We send a brief questionnaire to confirm information.
- Once confirmed, we file dormant accounts to Companies House for you at no extra charge.
Company registers
- We prepare and maintain your company registers, including the statutory register of members.
- When there is a change – for example, a share transfer or a new shareholder – we update the registers and can provide copies on request.
Why it’s useful to let us do this for you
- In many situations (funding rounds, sales, due diligence), investors and solicitors care more about your registers than your Companies House page. If registers are wrong or missing, deals can stall.
- We know what a clean, accurate set of registers should look like and keep yours in that shape.
- If someone asks for them at short notice, you don’t scramble to create or correct them – you simply request a copy from us.
Optional add‑ons and discounted ad‑hoc work
Optional add‑ons
- ICO registration – we complete the form and manage renewals and reminders, so you are less likely to miss a data protection fee or registration.
- Certificate of Good Standing – we arrange it when a bank, supplier or overseas authority needs formal proof that your company is in good order.
- GDPR Compliance Package – templates and guidance to help you handle data properly, without writing everything from scratch.
50% discount on ad‑hoc secretarial services
When you need a bespoke change – appointing or removing directors, transferring shares, changing your company name – you can use your 50% discount.
To use your discount:
- Go to our customer contact form
- Select “Hassle‑Free Compliance Service”
- Choose “50% discount on Ad Hoc services”
- Briefly describe what you need
- We will be in touch to handle the rest
Why it’s useful to let us manage your company changes
- Company changes affect filings and registers. When we handle both, there is less chance that something is missed.
- You see the full cost (with the discount applied) upfront, instead of open‑ended hourly legal fees.
- You can move quickly on business decisions, knowing the paperwork will follow correctly.
