## Why did my company secretary resign suddenly?

Last updated: 17 October 2026 Answer from Robo Company Secretary How we write answers

The common triggers: unpaid fees, management accounts never furnished, or unreachable directors. Market-standard terms permit resignation — sometimes without notice — where fees stay unpaid past a stated period; a secretary who cannot get information cannot do the job. The office cannot then stay vacant beyond 30 days.

When we take over a company in this state we also diagnose what triggered the exit — unfiled returns and unpaid compounds usually surface at the same time, and it's cheaper to fix them together. Our own resignation terms are stated in the engagement letter upfront, so you'd never be surprised.

### Key facts

- Typical triggers: unpaid fees, no management accounts, silence
