Corporate Secretarial Services

Manage corporate compliance with our expert team, from entity establishment to expansion.

An Innovative Governance and Compliance Service

Ascentium’s Corporate Secretarial team helps boards make better decisions.

We provide the support you need to grow, from board reporting and compliance with statutory obligations through to entity establishment and corporate restructuring.

Why Does Corporate Governance Matter?

We work with hundreds of fast-growing companies, and one trait separates those that become established industry leaders from the rest: strong corporate governance. It is the discipline and consistency that keeps a business compliant, credible, and ready for its next milestone. As organisations grow, their governance and risk-management responsibilities grow with them.

The Differentiator for Growth

Strong corporate governance is the discipline and consistency that separates category leaders from the pack, building the foundation that investors and stakeholders look for.

Strong corporate governance is the discipline and consistency that separates category leaders from the pack, building the foundation that investors and stakeholders look for.

Rising Obligations

As a business develops and grows, its responsibilities for governance and risk management increase accordingly, and the cost of getting compliance wrong rises with them.

For Every Entity Type

Our services suit private, public, listed, and international subsidiary companies and the obligations each structure carries.

Reducing Risk

Attending to obligations in a timely and accurate manner significantly reduces the risk of breaches or fines, keeping your business on track for continued growth.

Preparing for Exit

Getting corporate secretarial right well before a sale or investment round avoids delays, valuation knocks or deals falling through.

Our Corporate Secretarial Process

We shape the engagement around your structure and obligations, whether you need ongoing company secretarial support or assistance with specific corporate actions.
Step 1

Understanding Your Structure and Obligations

We review your entities, registers, and governing documents, and map the statutory obligations and deadlines that apply. 

Step 2

Managing Corporate Actions and Filings

Share, officeholder, and address changes, annual reviews, and solvency declarations are prepared and lodged accurately and on time.

Step 3

Ongoing Governance Advisory

We proactively manage your compliance obligations throughout the year.
