  1. Sign your mandate

    Signed on the confirmation page, right after payment.

  2. Secure link, then access code

    Your onboarding link arrives within one business day, its access code in a separate message. Identity and source-of-funds documents go through that link.

  3. Shell confirmed with you

    We confirm the specific dormant company with you, including purchase cost, account status and filing history, before anything is bought.

  4. Sign the transfer

    You sign the share transfer agreement and complete the shareholder registry entry. That entry, not the Legal Affairs Bureau filing, makes the ownership change effective.

  5. Change registration

    On your written confirmation, a partner judicial scrivener files the change registration for director, address and business purpose.

  6. Bank continuity

    Continuity of the existing bank account through the change is decided by the bank and is case-specific.
