Policy & Procedure Development

We draft a wide range of workplace and operational policies including employee handbooks, data protection policies, health and safety documentation, financial controls, and anti-bribery frameworks. The scope depends entirely on your business needs and the regulatory environment you operate in. If you are unsure which policies you need, we can carry out a gap analysis as part of our company secretarial support and recommend a priority list.

Every policy is drafted specifically for your organisation. We do not use generic templates or off-the-shelf wording. Each document reflects your actual operations, team structure, and sector-specific requirements. This approach ensures that the policies are enforceable, practical, and meaningful to your staff rather than being a document that sits unread in a folder.

Timelines depend on the number and complexity of documents required. A single standalone policy can typically be delivered within five to ten working days. A complete employee handbook or operational procedure suite may take four to eight weeks depending on the level of consultation needed. We agree timescales upfront so you always know what to expect.

Yes. Many clients come to us with existing documentation that has gone out of date or no longer reflects how the business operates. We review what you have, identify gaps and inconsistencies, and produce updated versions that meet current standards. This is particularly common for businesses that have grown significantly since their policies were first written or that have undergone changes to their incorporation or governance structure.

Yes. Writing a policy is only half the job — it also needs to be communicated and acknowledged. We can support the rollout process by helping you prepare internal communications, staff briefing notes, and acknowledgement forms. We also recommend scheduling annual reviews to ensure policies remain current as your business evolves.

We draft policies in line with current UK legislation and recognised best practice standards. However, we are not a law firm and our documents do not constitute legal advice. For businesses operating in heavily regulated sectors or dealing with complex employment law matters, we recommend having final documents reviewed by a qualified solicitor. Our role is to produce clear, structured, and commercially practical documentation that forms a strong foundation for your corporate administration.

Pricing depends on the scope of work — a single policy will cost less than a full handbook or procedure manual suite. We quote on a fixed-fee or project basis after a short consultation so you know the cost before we begin. There are no hidden charges and no hourly surprises. Contact us for a tailored quote based on exactly what you need.

Absolutely. Having well-documented policies and procedures is one of the first things auditors and investors look for when assessing operational maturity. We can prioritise the documents most likely to be scrutinised — such as financial controls, data handling, and governance frameworks — and deliver them within compressed timescales. Many of our clients engage us specifically for this purpose alongside their ongoing secretarial support.
