Before you begin

Before starting a company formation project, you will need to set up the prospective company as a client, then add a company formation project to it.
The company formation project wizard has six sections. Section 3 is about the Proposed Officers.

Proposed Officers

note
The list of officers will be prepopulated with the details of any officers who have already been set up as in the Relationships tab of the company's client record. Not all information required for the request for incorporation can be entered when you set up a Contact or Relationship, so you will need to check that these prepopulated records hold the correct details and add some additional details.
  1. If the list of officers is prepopulated, select
    Edit
     next to each officer's name to check that their details are correct.
  2. To change an officer's details, select
    Setup
     next to their name to open their contact record in Onvio Centre.
  3. If the officer has used a previous name for business purposes in the last 20 years (this includes maiden or married names), select
    Add a Former Name
     to add a
    Forename
    ,
    Surname
     and
    Effective Date
    .
  4. If the officer's
    Service Address
     is not the same as the
    Registered Address
    , select
    No
     and either choose an address from the drop-down list or select
    Edit Address List
     to add/edit the address details.
  5. If the officer's
    Residential Address
    is not the same as the
    Service Address
    , select
    No
     and either choose an address from the drop-down list or select
    Edit Address List
     to add/edit the address details.
    note
    If the
    Service Address
     is the same as the
    Registered Address
    , then the option to make the
    Residential Address
     the same as the
    Service Address
     is disabled because this is not permitted by Companies House.
  6. If the officer is in the process of applying for, or has been granted, a section 243 exemption, select
    Yes
    .
  7. If any officers are missing from the prepopulated list, select
    Add
     to enter the following details.
