Company Secretary / Local Representative

A Macau company needs a local seat and, realistically, someone who actually receives the post and tracks the deadlines. When shareholders and management are based elsewhere, it is easy to miss official notices, requests for further documents and annual filings. We act as your company secretary and local contact — receiving correspondence, preparing resolutions, maintaining records and watching every date.

WHY YOU NEED ONE

With a local representative vs without

Annually
DOCUMENTS

Documents you need to provide

You provide

  • Current articles and registration certificate
  • Identity documents for shareholders and management body
  • Existing registered address and mail arrangements
  • Nominated contact and preferred notification channel

We create and maintain

  • A company record file (shareholders, directors, capital, articles versions)
  • An annual compliance calendar with reminders
  • Standard resolution and minute templates
  • A log of documents received and sent

Incomplete records are not a problem. We start by reconstructing and tidying what exists, fill the gaps, and then begin routine service.

COMMON PITFALLS

Common pitfalls

Representation must be documented

Any local representative or secretarial arrangement should rest on a written appointment with a clear scope. We act only on your written instructions and never take decisions beyond that authority.

Address and mail handling should match

If the registered seat and the actual mail arrangement sit with different parties, post still goes missing. Keeping address and secretarial services together avoids that.

Badly formed resolutions get rejected

Resolutions missing statutory elements, or signed contrary to the articles, are commonly refused on filing — pure wasted time. Having them drafted by someone who knows the form is far safer.

Records must be kept for the long term

Share transfers and resolutions may be examined years later by a bank, a buyer or a regulator. Systematic filing today saves considerable work later.

DAY-TO-DAY

The company secretary's day-to-day duties

A secretary is not a name on a form. They are the constant bridge between the company and government departments:

01

Government mail

Receive and follow up on government letters and deadlines so nothing important is missed.

02

Statutory records

Keep shareholder, director and address changes updated and on file.

03

Renewals & changes

Remind and handle annual renewal and change registrations to keep the company valid.

04

Meeting papers

Help prepare shareholder / director meeting minutes and resolutions for the record.

FAQ

Questions about this service

Is a company secretary legally required?

In the Macau company structure the secretary is an optional office rather than a universal requirement. In practice, however, where shareholders and management are outside Macau, having a local representative to handle documents and deadlines is a very real need.

Will you take part in running my business?

No. Our role is administrative, documentary and compliance support. All commercial decisions are yours; we execute and record them on your written instructions.

How will I be told about official mail?

Normally the same day by WhatsApp or phone, with a scanned copy. Where a notice carries a deadline we flag the date and suggest how to respond.

Can I take mail handling only?

Yes. You can use the registered address and mail receipt without the full secretarial package and upgrade later. We do not bundle services you have not asked for.

Is it easy to move to another provider?

Yes. The records and documents are yours; if you end the engagement we hand everything over in full. We do not hold documents back.

How does the secretarial service relate to a virtual address?

They can be used separately, but using them together is better. With one party handling both the address and the secretarial work, mail is noticed immediately and any deadline followed up at once — no disconnect where the address side receives a letter the secretary side never hears about.

Service fee — Depends on the scope of service, the type of company and the industry requirements. We understand your case first, then quote in writing with government fees and our fee listed separately.
