Corporate Secretarial Services

Corporate secretarial work, board minutes, shareholder resolutions, statutory registers, is treated as clerical by many companies until a bank, auditor, or investor asks for a specific document that turns out to have never been properly maintained.

A family business registered near Al Wizarat and a multinational subsidiary in KAFD both eventually hit the same moment: a bank or auditor asks for a specific board resolution that was never properly filed.

This is distinct from statutory filings support, which addresses government-facing deadlines like Commercial Registration renewal, while corporate secretarial work addresses internal governance documentation the company controls entirely on its own timeline, and follows naturally from company incorporation.

Why this gets neglected until it's genuinely urgent

Day-to-day board decisions often get made informally, a phone call, a message exchange, a verbal agreement, without a formal resolution being drafted and filed at the time, which works fine until a specific decision, a major contract, a related-party transaction, a capital change, needs to be evidenced formally for a bank or auditor months or years later.

What proper corporate secretarial practice actually covers

Board and shareholder meeting minutes maintained consistently as decisions happen, a share register genuinely kept current as ownership actually changes rather than updated in a rush when needed, and resolutions drafted and filed contemporaneously rather than reconstructed later from memory and old email threads.

A common Saudi scenario

A Riyadh family business that has made informal decisions for years discovers during a bank financing application or a partial sale that critical historical decisions, capital increases, related-party arrangements, were never properly documented, creating real delays exactly when speed matters most.

What we deliver

Ongoing secretarial support that keeps documentation current as decisions actually happen, plus a remediation pass to properly document historical decisions where genuine gaps exist, connecting to legal entity management for broader entity governance across a multi-entity group.

Making the discipline stick after initial cleanup

A one-time remediation project fixes the historical gap but doesn't prevent it from recurring. Building a simple, consistent habit of documenting decisions as they happen, not weeks later, is what actually keeps the records current going forward.

Local context

Family-owned businesses in Riyadh that have historically operated informally tend to carry the largest documentation gaps, since decisions were genuinely made and executed correctly but simply never captured in the formal record a bank or investor will eventually ask to see.

Corporate Secretarial Services, answered

What happens if historical minutes were never properly kept?

We work through available records, contracts, bank statements, correspondence, to reconstruct and formally document historical decisions as accurately as possible, which is more labor-intensive than contemporaneous documentation but genuinely achievable in most cases.

How often should the share register be updated?

Immediately whenever ownership actually changes, not on a periodic schedule, since a register that's accurate as of last year but not reflecting a recent transfer creates exactly the kind of gap that surfaces at the worst possible moment.

Is this different from statutory filings support?

Yes, statutory filings support manages government-facing deadlines and submissions. This work manages internal governance documentation the company itself controls and is responsible for maintaining on an ongoing basis.
