The real problem

Corporate Filings Don't Forgive A Missed Date.

Company law compliance is a set of clocks running in parallel — an accounts filing here, a confirmation statement there, each with its own deadline and its own automatic penalty. Miss one, and the fine is immediate, whether or not anyone at the company noticed the date had passed. The businesses that get caught out aren't careless — they're usually juggling four countries' worth of deadlines with no single person owning the calendar.

What's included

The full scope of corporate legal work, handled end to end.

Who this is for, and who it isn't

Built for businesses that need every filing clock tracked, not guessed at.

Accounting & CPA firms

White-label company secretarial and compliance support for your international clients, delivered under your own brand.

Businesses outside India

Direct corporate compliance and secretarial support for businesses operating in the US, UK, Australia, or UAE.

Who this isn't for

If you have a single, simple entity with an in-house company secretary already tracking every deadline accurately, you may not need a new compliance partner — a lighter advisory-only engagement will likely serve you better.

Regulatory reality check

Four Countries. Four Different Filing Calendars.

Corporate compliance deadlines don't run on the same clock everywhere. Here's a sample of what we track, right now, across the four markets we serve.

UK
9 months
Companies House Accounts

UK private companies must file annual accounts with Companies House within 9 months of their accounting reference date, and a confirmation statement at least annually — late filing penalties run £150–£1,500.

US
State-by-state
Annual Report Filings

US corporate compliance runs at the state level — annual report deadlines, fees, and franchise tax obligations vary by state of incorporation, not by a single federal calendar.

AU
Annual
ASIC Review Date

Australian companies have an annual review date with ASIC, triggering a review fee and a requirement to confirm company details are current.

AE
License-based
UAE Trade License Renewal

UAE company compliance centers on trade license renewal cycles, which vary by free zone or mainland authority and carry real penalties for lapses.

How we deliver

A documented process, from scoping to filing.

Click a step to see how it works.

Day 1

Free consultation

We learn your entity structure, jurisdictions, and current filing status.

Week 1

Scope & proposal

A clear list of deliverables, filing deadlines, and turnaround times.

Week 1–2

Secure onboarding

NDA signed, access set up, prior filings reviewed for gaps.

Ongoing

Filing & advisory

Every deadline tracked and filed on schedule, with proactive advisory as rules change.

What makes this different

The advantage isn't that we know company law. It's that nothing sits on a spreadsheet no one's watching.

Anyone can look up a filing deadline. What's harder to find is a team that tracks every clock across every entity you have, so a missed date never becomes a surprise penalty. That's the real difference between hiring a lawyer for one filing and partnering with a team that owns the whole calendar.

What this costs

Pricing depends on scope, not guesswork.

Complexity

Group structure and how often documents change.

There's no flat rate that fits a single-entity business and a multi-country group the same way, so we don't pretend there is. Most engagements are scoped and quoted on the first call, not after weeks of back-and-forth.

The honest comparison

Why not just hire a local company secretary?

A fair question — here's how the trade-off actually looks.

VS

Local Company Secretary

Tracks one country's deadlines, not four
Higher salary + benefits overhead
One person, no backup when they're out
Separate from your accounting & tax team

Partnering with Corptiva

One partner tracking every market you're in
Scoped pricing, no hidden overhead
A team, not one point of failure
Same team as your accounting, tax, and audit
Real work, real outcomes

Corporate Legal questions

What clients usually ask.

Image placeholder
01
Do you handle compliance across multiple countries at once?

Yes — this is exactly what the International Services practice coordinates alongside Corporate Legal.

02
What happens if we've already missed a filing deadline?

We assess the penalty exposure honestly and help you file and remediate as quickly as possible.

03
Can you draft commercial agreements, not just handle filings?

Yes, commercial agreement drafting and review is part of this practice.

04
Who actually reviews the filings before submission?

Every filing is reviewed by a Company Secretary before it goes out, not just prepared by junior staff.

05
Do you work with our existing lawyer?

Yes — many engagements run as a scoped addition alongside outside counsel handling specialist matters.

06
How far ahead do you flag upcoming deadlines?

Deadlines are tracked continuously, with proactive notice well ahead of each filing date, not a last-minute scramble.
