Make responsibilities clear

Effective administration starts with knowing who owns each task. Identify the people responsible for corporate records, board materials, approvals and communication with your service providers. Keep contact details current so requests reach the right person.

Keep decisions easy to follow

An organised record of meetings, decisions and supporting documents helps everyone work from the same information. Agree how minutes and resolutions will be prepared, reviewed and stored, and give your administrators sufficient context to support the process.

Use a shared calendar

Bring meetings, internal approvals and reporting activities into one working calendar. Your advisers can help identify the requirements relevant to your entity. A calendar is most useful when each task has an owner and enough time is allowed for review.

Maintain a consistent set of records

When directors, shareholders or contact details change, tell your corporate services team promptly. Keeping the working records aligned reduces duplicated requests and makes later reviews easier.

Review support as the business changes

A structure that worked at formation may need different administrative support as activity grows. Review your arrangements with your corporate services team and involve legal counsel when questions require legal advice.
