CSC offers global corporate secretarial services in more than 140 jurisdictions, centralized through our global headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, and augmented by regional hubs in London and Hong Kong.

Will I need to work with multiple contacts around the world with CSC’s Corporate Secretarial services?

No, you’ll be supported by a centralized, dedicated team that will facilitate all of your organization’s corporate governance needs. This includes both regularly scheduled maintenance and changes within your entity portfolio.
What are corporate secretarial services?

Corporate secretarial services, often referred to as “CoSec,” commonly include the fulfillment of the necessary meeting and filing obligations as required by the in-country business registry. These obligations can vary dramatically by jurisdiction and entity type.
Do I need registered agent services outside the United States?

Registered agent services are most common in the U.S. and in some island jurisdictions. More commonly outside of the U.S., you’ll need corporate secretarial oversight of annual and ongoing compliance matters.
What is an annual general meeting?

Most jurisdictions require an annual meeting of directors or shareholders, with written documentation of minutes or resolutions. In some countries, these documents need to be filed locally with the business registry and maintained at the registered office.
What is a registered office?

Most jurisdictions require a listed registered office address with the business registry. Typically, this is the principal place of business for the entity—often your own physical location in country. In some countries, it’s common for your corporate secretarial partner to fulfill your registered office requirement. In many countries, you’re required to keep physical minute books at the registered office location.
What is a resident director?

Some jurisdictions require a minimum number of directors or shareholders to maintain residency in country. In many cases, if you’re unable to maintain an adequate number of in-country director-level personnel, CSC can accept appointments to satisfy resident director requirements.
Who should file an LEI registration?

Any company that engages in financial transactions may need a global Legal Entity Identifier (LEI). This could include larger companies with their own treasury operations; financial companies; and law firms working with financial firms, including REITs, insurance companies, and banks.
