Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a part-time company secretary for my small business?

Yes, hiring a part-time company secretary is an excellent option for small businesses that don’t need full-time governance support. This arrangement is typically offered through outsourced governance service providers, allowing you to access professional expertise on a flexible basis.

A part-time company secretary can handle tasks such as maintaining statutory registers, preparing ASIC filings, and ensuring compliance with the Corporations Act. They can also assist with shareholder communications, organise board meetings, and prepare minutes or resolutions as needed.

For small businesses, a part-time company secretary provides cost savings compared to hiring a full-time employee. You only pay for the services you need, whether on an hourly, monthly, or project basis. This flexibility is ideal for companies with limited resources but a need to maintain compliance and strong governance.

Outsourcing this role to experienced professionals ensures your business stays compliant with regulatory requirements while freeing up internal resources to focus on growth. A part-time company secretary helps small businesses stay organised, meet legal obligations, and prepare for future expansion.
