What we do
Ongoing Company Secretarial Services
Charltons provides a wide range of high quality value-added company secretarial services aimed to help your company navigate every stage from establishment to deregistration and winding up.
We advise clients on meeting all relevant compliance and administrative requirements by ensuring that corporate records are professionally maintained and kept up to date and by ensuring that all statutory filings are made on time. We further provide our clients with updates on changes to Hong Kong company law and regulations relevant to their businesses and advice on the compliance with current and updated standards of corporate governance.
In particular, we understand the importance of maintaining ongoing company secretarial services to clients who are not resident in Hong Kong and do not travel to Hong Kong on a regular basis. Our overseas clients rely on our guidance in order to meet filing deadlines and stay abreast of relevant Hong Kong corporate and Hong Kong company law developments.
Charltons provides a board range of company secretarial services including the filing of annual returns, notifications of change of address of registered office and change of secretary and director (appointment / cessation), changes of particulars of secretary and director, notifications of increase in nominal share capital, returns of allotments, renewals of business registration certificates and the convening of annual general meetings.
