Ongoing obligations

  • File the previous year’s annual report from 1 January to 30 June. Separate disclosure deadlines, tax, bookkeeping, beneficial ownership and licences need case-specific confirmation.

Information still to be completed or verified

  • Foreign-investment restrictions, full officer eligibility, tax deadlines, local addresses, all official charges and bank conditions remain incomplete; absent fees do not mean free.

Service scope

Registered office, registered agent and company secretary arrangements depend on the destination, entity type and actual business activities. Not every service applies in every country.
