Found cheaper? We match it — see conditions. Incorporation and secretary transfer also carry a 30-day money-back guarantee.
You've been trusting the filings happened. This year, nobody's checked. Not because anyone lied — because checking was never actually anyone's job.
For a company that already exists, not a new one — we review what's actually been filed against what's due, and the guarantee runs until we've made contact.

What a mid-year handover actually has to get right
Four things a clean handover gets right
RECORD
The record, not the account of it
What's actually been filed this year, reviewed on takeover — not simply taken on the outgoing secretary's word that it's all in order.
RESIGNATION
Resignation & appointment, lodged
The outgoing secretary resigns, we're appointed, both lodged with SSM — the part of the handover that's genuinely just paperwork.
GAP
Whatever's still open, closed
This year's AGM, annual return, a resolution signed but maybe not filed — flagged and cleared, not carried across silently.
CONTINUITY
Who answers for it, unbroken
The director's responsibility didn't pause for the switch. Someone has been accountable for every day of it, named or not.
+ get the handover wrong and there's a stretch of the year nobody actually owned — not dropped by anyone, just never picked up
+ get it right and the switch itself never shows up later as a gap in the filing history
What a half-finished year actually contains
This isn't hypothetical — most companies switching mid-year are somewhere in the middle of exactly this, and none of it is unusual on its own:
None of that is unusual for a mid-year switch. What's unusual is checking it before agreeing the handover is complete, instead of finding out after something's overdue.
The appointment moves. What happened before it doesn't unhappen.
A new secretary can take the filing over from today. What was or wasn't done under the old one is already this company's history either way — reviewing it doesn't undo anything, but skipping the review just means finding out later, on SSM's schedule instead of yours.
The Companies Act 2016 places the underlying compliance duties on the company and its directors, not on whichever individual happens to hold the secretarial appointment at a given moment. Changing who holds the appointment changes who does the filing going forward — it does not reset, or erase, whatever the company's compliance position already was on the day of the switch.
The one question that decides this
Anyone can accept a handover. Almost nobody checks what's actually been filed before agreeing it's done.
What a handover actually confirms
Any competent handover moves the appointment from one secretary to another the same way. The difference is whether anyone checks what's true about the year so far before calling the switch complete:
What a handover actually removes, item by item
Four things are commonly still open at a mid-year switch. Each one either gets confirmed already done, or gets filed — not carried over as a question mark:
What actually happens, in order
The same sequence as any handover, with one extra step most descriptions leave out:
You tell us
who holds the appointment now, and the company number
We contact them
in writing — this is also where the 30-day money-back guarantee's cut-off sits
We review what's actually been filed this year
against what's due, and flag anything still open before the switch is called complete
Resignation and appointment lodged with SSM
typically days once the outgoing secretary confirms — their queue, not ours to promise
Records migrate into your dashboard
registers, resolutions, minute book and the review result — nothing re-typed by you
The review step is the one a rushed handover skips. It's also the one that decides whether anything from this year gets missed.
The deadline a handover doesn't move
A change of secretary doesn't pause the clock. Finding an open item during the handover, before the date, is the difference between filing late and not.
What's already correct costs nothing to confirm
0
filings re-submitted. What's already lodged with SSM stays lodged — the review confirms it, it doesn't redo it, and there's no charge for checking.
Each tier includes the one below it
The handover and the review are bundled into every tier — they're not an upsell, and Essential and Professional add the rest of the back office on top:
| Plan | What's included |
|---|---|
| Launch — RM 80/mo, billed annually | Handover managed with SSM, review of what's already filed, licensed company secretary, registered office address, statutory registers & lodgement reminders, e-signature, up to 3 shareholders & 3 directors |
| Essential — RM 120/mo, billed annually | Everything in Launch, plus invoicing and 1M AI tokens/month, up to 5 shareholders |
| Professional — RM 180/mo, billed annually | Everything in Essential, plus up to 10 seats & 10M AI tokens/month, up to 6 directors & 8 shareholders |
There's no separate transfer fee on any tier — the monthly plan is the whole cost. Most companies transferring in start on Launch and move up only when they need the rest.
Guarantee
30 days, full refund — until we first contact your outgoing secretary
Once we've written to them to start the handover, that process and its costs have begun and the guarantee's cut-off has passed.
No lock-in
Cancel any month
Your registers, resolutions and minute book leave with you — nothing held back for a notice period.
No separate transfer fee
The monthly plan is the whole cost
The handover and the filing review aren't a line item — they're what Launch includes.
Not included
SSM's own statutory filing fees
Those are charged by SSM directly, not by us.
Not covered
- SSM's own statutory filing fees are charged by SSM directly and are not part of the monthly plan.
- The 30-day money-back guarantee runs from payment until the point we first contact your outgoing company secretary, in writing, to begin the transfer — after that, the handover and its costs have begun and the guarantee no longer applies.
- Reviewing what's actually been filed can surface something overdue you didn't know about. That gets flagged and cleared as part of the handover, not hidden — finding it now is the point of checking, not a sign anything's gone wrong.
- If your current secretary is already doing the job well and the rest of the back office holds no interest for you, moving for its own sake isn't worth the disruption. This is for a company that's changing hands anyway, not a reason on its own to start.
How do you know what's already been filed for this year?
On takeover we run a review of your filing status and flag anything that's still outstanding, rather than assuming the outgoing secretary's account of it is complete. Exactly what's confirmed already done and what's still open gets shown to you before the handover is called finished.
What happens if the review finds something overdue?
It gets flagged and cleared as part of the handover — it doesn't stop the transfer, and it isn't hidden. Finding it now, during the switch, is the point of checking; the alternative is finding it later, after it's already late.
Is there a separate fee to transfer, on top of the monthly plan?
No. RM 80/month (Launch, billed annually) is the whole cost — the handover, the filing review and the ongoing secretarial work. There's no separate transfer quote that shows up afterward.
Does the 30-day money-back guarantee apply to transferring an existing company?
Yes — Transfer of Company Secretary to Us is one of only two services the guarantee covers. You can cancel for a full refund any time up to the point we first contact your outgoing secretary to begin the handover; after that, the process and its costs have started and the guarantee no longer applies.
Do I need to tell my current secretary myself?
That's really the only step that's genuinely on you. We contact them in writing to start the handover and coordinate the resignation and appointment with SSM from there — you don't have to chase anyone yourself.
A change of hands was never supposed to be the moment something got lost.
Tell us who holds the appointment now, and what's still open for this year. We review it, take it over, and the guarantee runs until we've made contact.
