Director services
Director services for International clients: compliant and reliable solutions
In many countries, entrepreneurs setting up a limited liability company are legally required to appoint a resident director. The resident director can either be:
A local citizen of the country, or a foreign national holding a valid residency permit.
In some jurisdictions, appointing a resident director can also serve other important purposes for your business. For example:
Simplifying the incorporation process: Even though it may not be required by law, having a resident director may eliminate the need for personal travel to the country during the company formation process.
Bank signatory requirements: In some countries, the bank signatory must be a resident or hold a valid work permit. The approval process for a visa can take months in certain jurisdictions.
Service term
In cases where immediate director services are needed for company incorporation or opening a bank account, C2Z Advisory offers temporary director services. The appointed director can be removed after the incorporation process is complete or when the bank account is successfully opened. That said, most of our Clients require nominee director services long-term. To give the flexibility our Clients need, our services are renewed annually.
With our global network, we provide director services in over 80 countries, offering our international clients expert assistance to ensure compliance and smooth operations.
