Create your business breakthrough

Change Agent

When you first incorporate an offshore company, you start with tax planning and legal matters. This does not mean you will not have any issues in the future. Issues may not just be related to finances, they may relate to supporting, maintaining and advising your company from year to year and dealing with some matters during the life of your business. You have to choose the proper provider or registered agent to serve your offshore structure during its lifetime.

Yes. Change of Agent is a fairly standard procedure for IBC`s. It can be done by requesting the current Registered Agent to resign and pass the administration of Your offshore company to another licensed Registered Agent. Such request should be provided in writing. All reputable Registered Agents would honour such request without question. Although legally the change of the Registered Agent is pretty straightforward, those clients, who act in bad faith (for instance, trying to avoid the payment of confirmed and past-due company renewal fees) will encounter difficulties. Quite simply, they may not find a single Registered Agent willing to accept the administration of their company.
The new registered agent has to prepare the following forms.
  1. Shareholder’s resolution mentioning the change of registered agent.
  2. Change of registered office signed by the director/shareholder.
  3. Notice given to the old agent about their resignation and submitted to the local authority.
Apart from the trust declarations from the nominee shareholder, you can get a similar undertaking from the nominee director. As an alternative, the nominee director can issue an undated resignation letter, which can be executed by you at any time, thus removing the director from office with immediate or past effect. Finally, if specifically required by the circumstances, a detailed and specific company management services contract may be drafted and concluded between you and the registered agent (who would also represent all nominees involved).
No. The only ones who have power of decision are the shareholders, proxies and directors, depending on the specific case. The registered agent will only be in charge of registering all the acts made by these parties.
