Our Services: What You Get with Our Local Director Package
Name on Articles of Incorporation or Business Registry
Next, we make sure everything is filed correctly from the start. Your appointed director will be listed on your Articles of Incorporation or business registry, depending on your setup.
Corporate Governance and Compliance Support
As your business grows, staying compliant is key. That’s why our local resident director service also includes corporate governance support. We’ll help you keep track of filings, meet director-related obligations, and avoid penalties.
Annual Declaration Filing
Speaking of staying compliant, you’ll also get help with your annual declarations. These are mandatory filings that Canadian corporations must submit each year.
NDA and Indemnity Agreements
Now, let’s talk about trust and control. You want to make sure the person listed as your director won’t interfere with your decisions or operations.
Optional Use of Our Registered Address
Last but not least, we offer you the option to use our registered office address. If you don’t have a Canadian address yet or just want to keep your personal one private, this is a huge plus.
How It Works: Our Simple 3-Step Process
We know that getting started with a local resident director service might sound complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. At One Accounting, we’ve simplified the entire process into three clear steps.
Step 1: Free Consultation
To begin with, we hop on a quick discovery call with you. This is where we learn about your business goals and what you plan to incorporate whether it’s federally or in a specific province like Ontario or Alberta. During this call, we’ll explain how the local resident director service applies to your situation and answer any questions you have.
Step 2: Legal Onboarding
Once you’re ready to proceed, we move into the onboarding phase. At this stage, we’ll draft and sign a service agreement, complete any necessary KYC (Know Your Customer) checks, and finalize the appointment of your local director.
Step 3: Get Compliant
Finally, we take care of all the filings and paperwork. From adding your appointed director to the Articles of Incorporation to submitting official documents, we make sure everything meets Canadian legal requirements.
By the end of this step, you’ll be fully compliant and your local resident director service will be officially in place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, absolutely! Life and business can evolve, and if you no longer need the service or prefer to appoint someone else, we’ll help you make that transition smooth. Just give us a heads-up, and we’ll guide you through the next steps.
Not typically, but they can be if required by the bank. Some Canadian financial institutions might ask for a resident director to be listed or present for verification. If that’s the case, we’ll make arrangements through our local resident director service so your setup goes smoothly.
That’s a great question. Even if it’s not legally required, some business owners still choose to use a local resident director service for privacy reasons or to simplify administrative tasks. It’s an optional layer of support that can save you time and effort.
Good news, our pricing is simple and transparent. If you decide to continue using the local resident director service for another year, we’ll share the renewal options well in advance. No surprise charges, ever.
While a local resident director service isn’t directly linked to the Startup Visa Program, having a legal business presence and meeting incorporation requirements can support your application. We’re happy to connect you with experts in that area, too.
Absolutely. We believe in building trust, and if you’d like to speak with the appointed director before committing, we can make that happen. It’s important you feel confident and comfortable with the arrangement.
We’ve got you covered. If for any reason your appointed director steps down, we’ll provide a replacement immediately to ensure there’s no disruption in your legal compliance or business operations.
Not at all! While Ontario is a common location for incorporations, we offer our local resident director service across Canada. Just let us know where you’re setting up, and we’ll tailor the support.
