How do I change my company secretary?
Switching is straightforward: the new secretary consents, the board resolves, SSM is notified, and your statutory records transfer across. The one legal constraint is continuity — no vacancy beyond 30 days. We handle the entire takeover, including collecting your records from the outgoing firm.
