Corporate Compliance
Companies Act secretarial compliance, board records and ROC filings kept current.
Company law compliance is unglamorous and unforgiving. Late annual filings attract per-day penalties, unmaintained statutory registers surface in every diligence exercise, and defective board records can put a resolution — and the transaction that relies on it — in doubt.
LexNova keeps the corporate record straight: meetings convened and minuted correctly, resolutions filed on time, registers current and directors' obligations tracked. Small companies get proportionate support; group entities get a single coordinated calendar.

Frequently asked questions
- What happens if annual filings are overdue?
- Additional fees accrue daily and directors can face disqualification in prolonged default. Regularisation is possible and should be done before it affects the directors' other companies.
- Do you support LLPs and small private companies?
- Yes — LLP annual filings and small-company compliance are handled on the same tracked calendar.
- What are the recurring Companies Act filings?
- Annual return and financial statements, board and general meeting compliance, statutory registers, director KYC, charge registrations, and event-based filings for allotments, resignations and changes in registered office.
- What happens if annual filings are missed?
- Additional fees accrue daily, directors can be disqualified after a continuous default, and the company risks being struck off. Restoration is possible but slower and more expensive than staying current.
- Do private companies need a secretarial audit?
- Only above prescribed thresholds, but many private companies commission a voluntary secretarial health check before fundraising or a sale, because compliance gaps surface in diligence and depress valuation.
- Can you maintain our statutory registers and minutes?
- Yes. We prepare board and general meeting notices, agendas, resolutions and minutes, and maintain the statutory registers so the corporate record is complete and defensible.
