Inform Direct is browser-based company secretarial software for managing statutory records and compliance for UK-incorporated organisations. It can submit confirmation statements and many company changes electronically to Companies House, maintain statutory registers and send filing deadline reminders. Share tools cover recording shareholders, issuing and transferring shares, and reorganising shareholdings. The service generates more than 400 secretarial documents, including minutes, resolutions, forms and certificates. It can prepare dormant company and audit-exempt micro-entity accounts; subscribers with their own presenter code can also submit iXBRL accounts files. Its API supports adding and removing companies and retrieving company lists and high-level details for external systems. Multi-user accounts can set permissions by company and function, and subscribers can use two-step verification. The free standard functionality plan covers up to 10 companies, with chargeable transactions paid separately. Pay as You Go costs 15.00 GBP per once per chargeable transaction; prices exclude VAT, and some transactions also incur Companies House fees. Overseas-incorporated companies and registered overseas entities are not supported.
