Why order a certificate of Good Standing with us.
Many of our clients are often in a hurry to get their company documents legalised. They send us company certificates from their agents to legalise. The problem we often encounter is that these documents do not have original signature of British public official i.e. the company registrar. In other words the documents are not certified certificates. The FCO can only legalise certified certificates by a registrar from Companies House. This can be very confusing for the clients as their formation agents’ print the certificates on original type paper but as mentioned these documents cannot be legalised without the signature of the registrar. The client then has to place an order and makes unplanned additional fees and loses valuable time in the process.
We have now made it easier for our clients to legalise the company documents mentioned. We provide you with the one stop shop, with no hidden fees. You can put in an order with us. We get your certified certificates from Companies House and we get it apostilled.
