Corporate secretarial for e-commerce businesses
E-commerce businesses are often young companies with founders, early investors and sometimes overseas directors, and they may later set up regional entities. A corporate secretary needs to handle share allotments, investor documentation, and director changes accurately, and to respond quickly to platform or payment provider verification requests that ask for company documents. Online sellers also benefit from a secretary who works digitally and can turn documents around without in-person meetings.
In short: E-commerce businesses usually need fully digital document signing and record keeping and share allotments and cap table alignment with statutory registers from a corporate secretarial provider. Check the questions below before you choose, or describe your need and get one to five free introductions.

- Support for overseas founders, including local resident director and secretary arrangements where needed
- Annual filings coordinated with the accountant
- Records ready for investor due diligence
Questions to ask a provider
- Can all resolutions and registers be signed and accessed online?
