An AI administrator for the work between the deadline and the filing. Lodged watches every entity's CIPC calendar, chases your clients for the documents in your firm's name, checks what comes back, drafts the pack and keeps the record. Your people approve and file.
Start with ten entities, no setup fee. Scale to your whole book. First firms go live in the January 2027 beneficial-ownership wave.
Each act carries its reason in one sentence, and every message goes out in your firm's name and your approved wording.
Every entity's annual return window and beneficial ownership date, computed from CIPC's rules and the public-holiday calendar, with the rule and its source behind each date.
Email and WhatsApp, from your firm's domain and number, on a ladder you set. Templates start as drafts you approve, and earn the right to send on their own after 20 clean sends. Every auto-send has a 60-second undo.
Clients upload from a phone, no login. Lodged reads each document and gives a verdict in under 15 seconds: accepted, with the fact that passed; failed, with what to do; or unsure, which goes to a person and never blocks the client.
A filing-ready pack per obligation, with the resolution, mandate and documents in order. Every event is logged with a hash and readable as a plain-English timeline, exportable per client as a PDF.
Your team files. Lodged never submits to CIPC, never gives advice, and never pauses or cancels an obligation on its own. Those are a person's decisions, and the Record shows who made each one.
One list, sorted by days to window close. Each row says what is waiting and has one action. Keyboard for everything. When the list is empty it says so: "Nothing needs you."
Name, registration number, next obligation, window, status, administrator, last client contact. Click any line and the whole entity opens beside it: the client thread, documents, pack and dates.
Every message, upload, check and filing, with its reason, in order, searchable. Export per client as a PDF your auditor or the client's attorney can rely on.
They keep Lodged outside the FIC Act's trust and company service provider definition and keep your professional judgement where it belongs.
Prices exclude VAT. Entities are counted daily and billed in arrears, so an entity added on the 20th costs a third of the month.
The chasing, checking and pack-building hours behind every annual return and beneficial ownership filing. Your administrators keep the judgement calls and the filing.
Firms that prefer to pay per outcome can ask about a per-pack price instead of a monthly fee.
Three doors: a CSV or Excel export from your current software, a CIPC entity list, or a short call where we import it with you. The setup fee covers it. Dates are recomputed from the registration date, so a bad spreadsheet date doesn't become a missed window.
Every template starts at draft: you approve each send. After 20 clean sends you can promote it to send on its own, and every auto-send can be undone for 60 seconds. If a client replies with a question, it goes to your administrator, never answered by the agent.
No. They tap a link from WhatsApp or email and upload from their phone's camera. The page carries your firm's name and logo and works on any phone without a login.
Lodged is built by Automaiq, an AI automation consultancy, with a company secretarial firm as its first design partner. Automaiq's registration appears on invoices until Lodged is its own company.
