OFFICEHOLDER CONSENTS
It is a requirement of the A.S.I.C. that the written consents of the directors and members are obtained before we can register companies. The final section on our order form also provides for the registration of a company where the identical business name is currently registered. The cessation of the identical business name will not be required if the proprietors of the business name are to be members of the proposed company and the declaration is duly signed.
