WHAT SETS US APART?

  • At Centaur, we charge a flat fee for our services and we do not charge time thereafter.
  • Robust controls and procedures are in place when producing documents.
  • Non-functionalized team; clients are assigned to a specific member of the team and that person deals with all company secretarial matters relating to their client.
  • We build strong relationships with both the Investment Manager and the Board of Directors. We adhere to tighter deadlines than many of our competitors.

CORPORATE SERVICES TECHNOLOGY

Centaur uses Blueprint software, backed by the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators – the professional body for those who work in the Corporate Secretarial field. This robust technology allows full details regarding entities to be recorded, tracked and reported on. The system’s capabilities include:

  • Document management.
  • Comprehensive compliance diary function.
  • Automatic email notifications.
  • Production of statutory registers.

The system is secure; each user is assigned a level of access and entities
and documents can be controlled accordingly. Anything inputted into
Blueprint is subject to our maker/checker process.
