Use Engage to start with a clean checklist and timeline.

Documentation-first Written to reduce loops with banks, registries, and counterparties.

What actually slows incorporations down

  • Name approvals without alternates (you lose days per round-trip).
  • Inconsistent KYC (passport vs address proof vs forms don’t match).
  • Unclear ownership chain (especially when a holding company is involved).
  • Business activity described like marketing copy, not operations.

Your starter pack (send this once, not ten times)

  • 3–5 proposed names, in order of preference.
  • UBO/director details (full name, DOB, nationality, address).
  • Passport + proof of address (clear, valid, same spelling).
  • Activity summary (2–4 lines: what you sell, to whom, where, and how you get paid).
Principle standardIndex-driven packs. Clean versions. Refreshable updates. No “random uploads”.

After incorporation: the ‘bank-ready’ minimum

  • Register set (directors/shareholders) and appointment resolutions.
  • Ownership diagram + source of funds note.
  • A single indexed folder with version control (v1.0, v1.1...).
Documentation
Pro tip: a clean index page saves more time than a thousand emails.
