Overview

How this service helps

Compliance recovery is for companies already behind: pending ROC forms, incomplete registers, missed annual filings or notice clutter. Targo Secretary diagnoses the gap, sequences catch-up work, and then locks a retainership cadence so the same holes do not reopen.

Important: Late fees and penalties remain the company’s statutory liability. Recovery professional work is scoped separately from a clean-file retainer.

Market problems

What companies struggle with in secretarial support

Most secretarial stress is structural — not a one-off mistake. These are the patterns we see across the market before companies move to an organised desk.

01

One person holds everything

A lone CS or consultant goes quiet, travels, or quits — and filings, DSC access and board history stall with them.

02

WhatsApp compliance, no calendar

Deadlines live in chat threads. Annual returns and event filings are remembered late, then rushed.

03

Meetings without minutes

Boards decide in calls, but agendas, resolutions and signed minutes never make it into a clean company file.

04

Registers that don’t match reality

Members, directors and share records drift from MCA filings — until diligence or a notice exposes the gap.

05

Vague “everything included” retainers

Scope is unclear until something goes wrong. Routine work and event filings get mixed without a written engagement note.

06

Hard switches between professionals

Previous support leaves incomplete handovers — pending forms, missing registers and unclear portal ownership.

How TargoLegal solves it

How we fix the pattern — not just the filing

Targo Secretary replaces reactive WhatsApp compliance with ownership, calendar, records and a clear path when work is blocked.

  • Organisation-backed secretarial desk Assigned ownership plus operations backup — so work continues when one person is offline.
  • Calendar and written scope Company-specific dates planned ahead. Routine vs event work confirmed before the engagement starts.
  • Meetings, minutes and registers together Board support and statutory records stay in the same rhythm as ROC filings — not as afterthoughts.
  • Recovery, then a calm cadence Pending filings and record gaps are sequenced first, then locked into ongoing retainership where needed.
  • Clear communication and escalation Named contact, status updates and a path when something is blocked — not a silent inbox.
  • Structured move to TargoLegal Handover checklist for records, pending work and access — so you can switch without a compliance blackout.

FAQs

Common questions

How long does recovery take?

It depends on how many periods are open, document availability and portal dependencies. We give a sequenced plan after the diagnostic — not a fake one-week promise for every backlog.

Can we start a retainer while recovering?

Often yes: catch-up runs as a defined recovery workstream while the forward calendar is set so new deadlines are not missed during cleanup.
