Additional-fee exposure avoided by sequencing

The situation

  • AOC-4 and MGT-7 unfiled across two entities; statutory registers incomplete.
  • Board and general meeting records existed only as loose signed sheets.
  • A lender had flagged the master data as an adverse finding in credit review.

What we did

  • Mapped every pending form and sequenced filings to minimise additional fees.
  • Reconstructed board and general meeting records with legally valid documentation.
  • Rebuilt statutory registers and the director KYC position across the group.
  • Filed in a controlled sequence with post-filing verification of master data.

Measured outcome

  • All four entities restored to active compliant status on the MCA record.
  • Directors cleared of disqualification exposure; DIN status regularised.
  • The lender's adverse finding was closed and the facility was renewed.

Governance shift

A group-level secretarial calendar with owner, evidence and board-approval trail replaced ad-hoc filing at year end.
