About Event

This session is for female founders only.

A founder-to-founder roundtable with member Amanda Nunn (Founder, privu) on how to prepare best for you 'CoSec' responsibilities as a founder (e.g. Companies House filings, share cert distributions etc)

UK Company Secretarial: what founders actually need to get right (and when to get help)
A founder-to-founder roundtable with Amanda Nunn (CFFN)

As you build your product, customers and team, the “boring stuff” - Companies House filings, statutory records and governance - is easy to push aside. It rarely feels urgent, but it’s often the first place things surface when you raise, go through diligence, or try to move quickly.

This session brings founders together to share experiences and build some pattern-recognition around the governance issues that quietly shape your company’s future.

We’ll explore:

  • What you, as a founder, are actually responsible for



  • What sits with your accountants and lawyers



  • Where small gaps most often turn into big problems



  • How governance issues show up in fundraising and diligence



Amanda will open with real examples from supporting founders through raises, restructures and audits, before moving into a roundtable discussion on:

  • The core Companies House records every founder should understand



  • What “good governance hygiene” looks like at early stage



  • The red flags investors and lawyers really look for



  • Which filings are worth handling yourself to stay in control



The aim is simple: to help you keep your company clean, investor-ready and easy to move, without drowning in admin.

There will be plenty of space for questions and shared experiences from the room.


Speaker bio

Amanda Nunn is a founder, operator and long-time member of CFFN. She has spent over a decade working hands-on with early-stage companies through fundraising, audits, restructures and growth - helping founders keep their governance, cap tables and statutory records clean and investor-ready.

She is currently building Privu, a data platform that uses machine learning to monitor UK private companies in near real time, surfacing ownership, governance and behavioural signals from public data. A lot of what Privu sees day-to-day comes directly from the records founders are responsible for keeping up to date - which gives Amanda a very practical, ground-level view of where things go wrong (and how to avoid it).
