The issue of share certificates is mandatory within 60 days after incorporation to all shareholders. These certificates serve as legal evidence of ownership and help in avoiding disputes in the future.
3. Conduct of Board Meetings
Your first board meeting should be held within 30 days after incorporation and a minimum of four meetings annually. These meetings enable directors to communicate about crucial business decisions and uphold proper governance.
4. Filing of Annual Returns & Financial Statements
