Why COOs are overpaying for administrative neglect
Most COOs spend four hours a month on Company Secretarial tasks that should take five minutes.

Companies House filings, PSC registers, and share splits are often left to run themselves until a deadline hits. Then: the scramble begins. You are an executive leader, yet you are spending your Friday afternoon hunting for officer details or manually assembling board packs for your ESG or Audit committees.

This is the "Administrative Neglect" tax on your business.

Simplif-i treats Company Secretarial work as a core operational function, not an afterthought. For £49/month: less than the cost of one hour of your salary: you can professionalise the "neglected corner" of your business.

The Company Secretarial Operating Layer
We’ve built the technical depth to end the operational scramble:

Delegation & Authority Engine: Manage your authority matrix, temporary delegations, and bank signatories in one place. Stop the bottleneck of "who can approve what."
Board & Committee Management: Track membership for Audit, Risk, Remuneration, and ESG committees. Distribute board packs and track meetings automatically.
Multinational Tree View: A real-time visualisation of your group hierarchy across regions (UK, EU, US, UAE). No more guessing which entity owns what.
The Filing Calendar: A 30-day countdown to your next regulatory deadline. We flag what is due before it becomes a fine.
The Outcome: Board-Ready, Always
When an investor asks for your share register or an auditor challenges your authority matrix, you don't scramble. You click.

Simplif-i gives you a 100% compliance score for your corporate governance. You buy back your headspace to focus on performance, while the platform handles the heavy lifting of evidence and adherence.
