We have developed an expertise to assist clients in establishing charitable organisations to meet the various needs of the community in the UK and within international groups as well. This includes setting up a company, registering it with the Charity Commission and with HMRC. Our services also cover gifts and relief on donations. It is beneficial to form a limited company before registering for a charity. This is usually done by setting up a company limited by guarantee, rather than the normal incorporation of limited by shares. A company limited by guarantee is a private limited company where the liability of members is limited. A guarantee company does not have a share capital, but instead has members who are guarantors instead of shareholders.

Company Formation – We deal with all incorporations in the UK with the Companies House organisation on a round-the-clock basis whether one requires a Company limited by shares or a Company limited by guarantee.

Company Secretary – We also provide company secretarial services. A company secretary is responsible for compliance with those provisions of the Companies Acts which require the company to keep registers and make its affairs open to the public. In addition, a company secretary is responsible for ensuring that an organisation complies with standard financial and legal practices, and maintains standards of corporate governance.

Registered Office – Every company must have a registered office address for the service of official documents, for example, court documents or Companies House notices. The registered office address must be shown on all company letterheads, invoices, and all other stationary. The address does not have to be from where you operate your business but it must be a physical address in the same country in which your company is registered. This address is on public record through the Companies House website. Our office is available to operate as the registered office.

Intellectual Property – We provide IP services whether it be Trademarks, Copyrights or Patents.

We have built a highly-recognised reputation by providing various services for our private clients who wish to purchase commercial or residential properties in the UK for personal or investment purposes. Our clients do this through a UK or offshore company, held through a trust if thought appropriate. We look at each client’s circumstances individually to ensure that the correct vehicle is utilized for holding the asset and dealing with the company’s incorporation if applicable. We specialize particularly in assisting non-UK domiciled or non-resident persons.
