Customer Reviews

A good primer for fulfilling company secretary obligations
Having used this book for over a year now I have found it an accessible text for provision of legal obligations when setting up and running a limited company in the UK. The book lends itself to the typical scenario where one individual fulfils the role of company secretary, accountant and managing director. It has a good index, and has proved particularly useful with (1) holding and minuting official company meetings; (2) Basic company accounts preparation. However, it does not pretend to be an accounting book, and it is recommended that the purchaser also acquire a text on basic company book-keeping - do these yourself and minimise unavoidable accounting fees!

Excellent and handy
Very well written, a lot of useful information, explains all you would like to know about all these details. I wasn't aware of all these things you should know when you run a limited company until I read this book. It is rather not a detailed guide to your paper work or documents you would need to write. It is more like a reference manual to different aspects of the organization. If you need to know some details about secretaries, shares, owners, board of directors, etc, you jast open the book and it is there.

Good for the Company Bookshelf
This is a good book for the company bookshelf although there is a question of whether some of the information may be out of date.
