For RMC directors
You're running a company now. Without the budget, staff, or training.
The weight of being a director
Sudden legal duties
One day a resident, the next a company director with fiduciary duties. Nobody taught you the Companies Act.Compliance overwhelm
Confirmation statements. Annual accounts. Fire safety. Insurance renewals. Every deadline carries consequences.Paper trail panic
Where's the s.20 consultation proof? Tribunal cases are won and lost on documentation you might not have.The handover void
Directors rotate. Knowledge doesn't. The previous treasurer's email is the only record of key decisions.Unequal burden
Three directors doing everything. Forty leaseholders who only appear when something goes wrong.Agent oversight
Your managing agent works for you. But without proper tools, it's hard to know if they're earning their fee.
It's not your fault you weren't trained for this. Most RMC directors learn by doing - often by making expensive mistakes.

How Residents Circle helps
- Report
Issue tracking with audit trail
Every request logged with timestamps and ownership. When disputes arise, the evidence is there. Protection, not just organisation. - Messages · Manage
Announcements
Keep all leaseholders informed: a broadcast to everyone, or a newsletter (alpha) that shows how many were delivered. Demonstrate you communicated properly when it matters. - Manage · alpha
Service charge statements
Upload a statement, review its lines and publish it. Money is in alpha, and only managers set it up. - Talk · Messages
Communication hub
Forum discussions that stay organised. Direct messages without sharing personal numbers. Company communication, not WhatsApp chaos. - Our place
Document repository
Lease extensions, insurance certs, AGM minutes, s.20 notices. Organised, searchable, version-controlled. The paper trail a company needs. - Our place
Resident directory
Who owns which unit, who's on the board, leaseholder vs tenant. Essential for service charge demands and proper consultation.
Protection, not just organisation
Audit-ready records
Decisions kept in minutes, survey results and documents. When accountants or tribunals ask for evidence, it's in your company's system - not someone's inbox.Consultation documentation
Section 20 requires specific steps. Keep each notice in Documents, gather responses in a survey, and record the decision in the meeting's minutes. The paper trail you'd want if ever challenged.Director continuity
New directors see full context: what's been tried, what worked, what's pending.Built for volunteers
We've been on committees too. This platform makes the thankless work sustainable - for you and whoever comes next.
Not legal advice
Residents Circle is a platform, not a law firm. Complex questions around s.20 consultations, lease interpretation, or tribunal matters need professional advice. We help you keep the records professionals expect to see.

Founding member spots are limited. Once they're gone, they're gone.
For example, a month for a 20-flat building at the founding rate costs less than one hour with a solicitor. And when tribunal comes and you need that audit trail, you'll be glad the decisions were documented.
