CORPORATE & LEGAL

Corporate and legal records management

Board minutes and resolutions, statutory registers, company secretarial records, contracts and licences are the most confidential documents you hold, and the ones a regulator, an auditor or a due diligence team asks for in full. Abscode keeps them under their own restricted archive groups, controlled and complete.

THE PROBLEM

The record nobody wants to be caught short on

Corporate and legal records usually live with one or two people, in a personal drive and an email folder, in whatever order made sense at the time. They are at once the most sensitive documents in the company and the least systematically managed.

When due diligence for a funding round or a statutory audit asks for the board's resolutions or the register of charges, the scramble that follows is slow, and because the material is so confidential, storing it loosely is a risk in its own right.

These are also records you must be able to produce complete, not almost complete. A resolution that cannot be found, a filing that was never saved, a licence whose renewal slipped, each becomes a finding at exactly the wrong moment.

Kept as restricted archive groups

Corporate and legal records sit in their own restricted archive groups, visible only to the people you name, the company secretary, the directors, legal and the promoters, with every view and action recorded. Nobody outside the group sees the material, or that it exists.

WHAT IT COVERS

Governance, contracts and statutory records

Each area kept complete, current and ready to produce, under access you control.

BOARD RECORDS

Board and organisational records

Notices, agendas, board packs, minutes and resolutions for the board and every committee, alongside the statutory registers they feed.

CONTRACTS

Contract management

Agreements and their renewal dates held together, so a contract is never auto-renewed unreviewed or allowed to lapse.

STATUTORY & COMPLIANCE

Statutory and compliance records

Incorporation documents, statutory filings and licences, kept complete, current and ready to produce, with renewal dates watched for you.

One mechanism, configured to your policy

Each record type leads with a sensible default, the control levels, the stages and the approvers, then adapts to how your board and legal team actually work. See how configuration works →

WHY ABSCODE

Why corporate and legal teams choose Abscode

Built on a document platform proven at massive scale, billions of records and millions of pages in production.

Records, not folders

Everything about a board or company record lives in one record, retrieved by what a document is about rather than by which folder someone saved it in.

Confidential by design

Access is set at the record and group level, so the most sensitive material is visible only to the people you name, with every action logged.

Real approval workflows

Maker-checker, review and sign-off are built in, with a complete audit trail on every action.

Pay for usage, not per user

Give your whole team access. You pay for what you use, not for a seat count.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Who can see corporate and legal records?
Only the people you name into the restricted archive group, typically the company secretary, directors and legal. The rest of the organisation cannot see the records or that they exist, and every access is logged.
Can it produce a complete record for due diligence?
Yes. Because board papers, resolutions, registers and filings are kept together and controlled, producing a complete, current set for due diligence or a statutory audit is a search rather than a scramble.
Does it watch statutory renewal dates?
Yes. Filings and licences carry due dates, and Abscode raises a renewal workflow before each one falls due.
Is this a board meeting portal?
No. Abscode is the confidential record of governance and legal documents, not a live board-meeting collaboration tool. It keeps the papers, the resolutions and the registers under control.
