What stays with you.

Entiva does the work. Every decision stays yours.

Decide what changes

Nothing starts until someone with authority over the company asks for it.

Approve the price

You see each quote before any work starts, and larger work waits for your approval.

Verify who you are

Directors and owners verify online with photo ID and a live selfie.

Sign what only you can sign

Some acts are personal, such as a director's consent to act, and only that person can sign them.

Companies, run like software.

One record, one request and one price for every company you own.

One record, one request, one price

5 principles

One record
Each company's registers, filings and deadlines live in one place, updated with every filing.
One request
Forming, changing and closing a company all start the same way, in plain words or through the API.
One price
Each company type has a formation fee and a monthly Run plan, with government fees passed through at cost.
One standard across borders
The same request works in every country Entiva covers, and each registry still gets the form its law requires.
Local law still decides who signs
A qualified local professional signs or files wherever the law requires one.
