Welcome to Daniel Wolfson & Co, company secretarial services
Forming a limited company creates a separate legal entity that’s distinct from you, the business owner. Unlike sole traders who are personally liable for business debts, limited companies are structured to offer a layer of protection for their owners. But, with added security comes added obligations, including registration with Companies House and annual account filings.
At Daniel Wolfson & Co, we specialise in providing expert company secretarial services in London, ensuring your business complies with all regulatory requirements. Whether you’re a startup, an established business, or a non-profit, our team delivers customised solutions for businesses in London, UK and beyond.
We are here to help you manage the additional paperwork that comes with incorporating a limited company. Our expert team in company secretarial services supports you in setting up and running your business, as well as managing all aspects of administering company records.
Whether you need support with company registration, routine tasks like updating statutory registers, choosing company names, or more complex assistance such as company dissolution, capital restructuring, and mergers, we’re here to help.

What Are Company Secretarial Services?
Company secretarial services help businesses manage administrative tasks related to company records, governance and Companies House filings.
These tasks may include preparing confirmation statements, reporting changes to company details, handling share-related documentation and maintaining relevant company records.
A private limited company does not generally need to appoint a company secretary, although it must still meet its legal reporting and filing obligations. Public limited companies have different requirements.
Professional support can help business owners understand their responsibilities and manage the relevant administrative work.
