Once we have the data of these people our team will create an acceptation letter for each member. These letter will be sent to the client in order to be signed, scanned and send back via e-mail. Then our legal deparment will register the new members of the board of director in the National Registry and make the endorsement of share and prepare the legal books so that the client or the person designed is the owner of the corporation with full power over the company.
