How London CoSec Supports Startups:

Foundation Setting

We ensure your company is set up correctly from the outset, with constitutional documents that reflect your commercial agreements and support your growth trajectory—without founders needing to worry about complex legal admin.

Document Alignment

One of the most critical (and often overlooked) aspects of startup governance is ensuring your Articles of Association and Memorandum align perfectly with your shareholders' agreement. We handle these intricacies as standard.

Growth-Ready Compliance

As you seek external capital, investors expect professional governance and clean corporate housekeeping. We provide the frameworks and ongoing support that demonstrate you're serious, organised, and investment-ready.

Startup-Specific Services:

  • Company incorporation with investor-friendly structures
  • Shareholders' agreement drafting and review
  • Share option schemes and EMI advisory
  • Board meeting procedures and minute taking
  • Fundraising documentation support
  • Compliance calendar management

Flexible Advisory

Whether you need full company secretarial support or ad hoc guidance on specific matters, we tailor our services to your stage and budget.
