Outsourced Corporate Secretarial Services for SA and SRL Companies

A properly managed corporate record helps prevent documentary problems from obstructing necessary company decisions. An external corporate secretary helps boards, managers and shareholders maintain reliable records of their decisions. Meeting requirements, notices and filing duties must be identified in advance.

What to keep in mind

Services include meeting calendars, minutes, statutory books, directors' terms and filing follow-up. Minutes must reflect what actually occurred.

Poor recordkeeping can leave officeholders' appointments expired or make company acts hard to prove to banks or regulators.

Distinctions often confused

Secretarial support prepares and records decisions; it does not replace the powers of directors, managers or shareholders.

Frequently asked questions

Can a company outsource its corporate secretarial function?
Yes. External counsel can coordinate meetings, minutes and filings, while the corporate bodies retain decision-making authority.
Are the procedures identical for an SA and an SRL?
No. Corporate bodies, quorum rules and documentation differ by legal form, bylaws and registry.
