Hello,

Was wondering if anyone could help me with the following please?

1. Firstly, a few questions regarding the company forms.

Could you clarify that the forms I require to provide via eCitizen are the following: CR1; CR3;CR8;BN2; 201;203; and 208 ?

Could you also clarify how to obtain the oath required in form 208?

Is this a case of obtaining and providing a notary witness?

2. Secondly, regarding the Company and Personal Pin.

Are both required?

To which person does each pin apply i.e. does the company pin attach to the entity and the personal pin attaches to the investor by way of the Class G permit for example?

Would both be able to be obtained prior to incorporation and allocation of a Class G permit?

How do I obtain these PIN’s?

3. Lastly, I have a few miscellaneous questions.

Are you aware of what legislation governs registering companies?

Is it better to use an agent to apply for the permit or are the forms quite straightforward?

Regarding the registered business address may I use a P.O. Box?

Kind regards,

Philip

I agree, the additional cost is worth it, particularly in terms of 'Articles of Association'. Are you aware of the financial/capital requirements for the Class G Permit?
