Gibraltar companies must have a company secretary.

Sole directors cannot act as company secretary.

Legalising documents for your company

Many companies will wish to have bank accounts outside Gibraltar, or will wish to sign public documents with a notary on behalf of the company.

For this, you will require a Certificate of Good Standing for your company, stating the directors and (if required) the shareholders of the company.

For a company to be in good standing, it needs to be up to date in filing company accounts, filing annual returns, and having directors, secretaries and a registered address in accordance with the Gibraltar Companies (Accounts) Ordinance.

What we can assist you with:

• Getting a certificate of good standing for your company
• Getting an apostille for use outside Gibraltar
• Any work needed to get your company in good standing – including preparation of accounts in accordance with the Ordinance, and filing the annual return
