Frequently Asked Questions

Company registration is done through the Companies Registry. You will need to file articles of incorporation, choose a company name, appoint directors, and comply with various requirements under the Companies Act. I can guide you through the entire process, prepare the necessary documents, and help you set up proper governance from the start.
If your company has more than one shareholder, a shareholder agreement is strongly recommended. It sets out how decisions are made, what happens if a shareholder wants to leave, and how disputes are resolved. Without one, you are relying solely on the Companies Act and your articles, which may not cover your specific situation.
Due diligence is the investigation you conduct before buying a business or entering a major transaction. It involves reviewing the target company financial records, contracts, liabilities, regulatory compliance, and potential risks. I help you identify issues before they become your problems.
Yes. I review commercial contracts of all types - supply agreements, service contracts, leases, distribution agreements, and more. I focus on identifying risks, ensuring the terms are fair, and making sure you understand what you are agreeing to before you sign.
