RE: THE FRACTIONAL CORPORATE SECRETARY SEAT
The Corporate Secretary seat that makes diligence take days, not months.
Every financing, acquisition and audit eventually opens the minute book. This seat is the difference between a clean data room and a six-figure cleanup at the worst possible moment.
What the seat covers
Board and shareholder meeting cycles run properly: notices, agendas, materials, minutes. Resolutions drafted and executed for everything that requires them, which is more than most founders think. Minute books kept current across every entity. Annual returns and corporate filings made on time in every jurisdiction. Cap table hygiene, so what the ledger says matches what the resolutions authorized.
How the mandate runs
The first 30 days reconstruct the current state: entities, registers, filing status, gaps between the cap table and the paper behind it. Cleanup is scoped and prioritized. From there the seat runs on the corporate calendar: board cycles managed end to end, filings tracked and made, and every corporate action papered when it happens rather than excavated years later during diligence.
Who retains a Fractional Corporate Secretary
Companies heading toward a financing or sale within 24 months, which is exactly when the minute book gets opened. Groups with multiple entities and no one tracking them. Boards that want the record right the first time. Subsidiaries and joint ventures needing local governance coverage.

Questions
Our lawyer already keeps our minute book. Is this different?
A firm that holds your minute book updates it when you instruct and bill for it. A Corporate Secretary runs the cycle proactively: the seat owns the calendar, the filings and the record, so nothing waits for someone to remember to instruct.
Can you fix a messy minute book?
Yes. Reconstruction is scoped as project work during the first 30 days, priced flat, and then the seat keeps it clean, which is dramatically cheaper than the deal-eve cleanup a purchaser's counsel forces.
What does it cost?
$2,450 per month standalone, or $2,250 added to an existing mandate, each including one counsel day. For most companies this seat pays for itself the first time a diligence request lands.
Can you clean up a minute book that has been neglected for years?
Yes. Reconstruction is scoped as project work in the first 30 days: reconciling the cap table against actual resolutions, papering historical actions that were never documented, and bringing filings current. It is scoped and priced flat before work begins.
Do you handle multiple entities, including foreign subsidiaries?
Yes. The seat covers your full corporate group, including subsidiaries and joint ventures, coordinating with local counsel where a foreign jurisdiction requires it.
How does this help with a financing or sale?
Diligence checklists ask for board minutes, resolutions, cap table history and good standing certificates going back years. A maintained minute book turns that request into an afternoon instead of a scramble that can delay or reprice a deal.
