Key points
The company needs at least one director satisfying local-residency requirements. Directors must meet age and suitability conditions and remain responsible for records, filings and the company's interests. A nominee arrangement does not remove director duties. FIN holders should verify that the appointment is permitted by the pass issuer.
Planning your next steps
Appoint the secretary within six months; the sole director cannot also be the secretary. Unless exempt, an auditor is due within three months. A CEO appointment requires notification, while an optional managing director is chosen from the board. Changes to officers must be filed within 14 days. Plan both initial appointments and future changes rather than treating the filing as a one-off formality.
