A practical fit check

Which appointment route
fits the role?

The Articles, office category and board composition decide what happens before DIR-12.

New founder or executive

Map employment, ownership and board office separately.

Additional director

Check Articles and later member regularisation.

Independent or nominee

Apply category-specific eligibility and disclosures.

Foreign national

Plan identity formalities and resident-director composition.

Director appointment

Eligible. Approved. Recorded.

A filing does not create eligibility.

DIN, disqualification, consent and minimum board composition must work before appointment.

01 / Outcome

What you receive,
ready to use.

We check board composition, the candidate’s eligibility and the company’s Articles before preparing the approvals, consent, disclosures and DIR-12 filing.
