One change across a whole group.
One request reaches every company, and each one still follows its own law.
One instruction
Remove a director from every board in the group with a single request.
Each registry gets its own form
Every company's filing goes on the form its own registry requires.
Each deadline is tracked separately
Hong Kong and the UK set different deadlines for the same change, and Entiva tracks each one.
Every company approves first
Nothing is filed until each company has authorised the change, as its own rules require.
Paper only where the law insists
Share transfers in Hong Kong and the BVI are still signed on paper, and Entiva tells you when.
