Formation Process

A Clear Path from Enquiry to Company Setup

The exact process depends on the jurisdiction, registered agent, company type, documents, business activity, and banking needs.

01

Initial Consultation

We review your business activity, company purpose, preferred jurisdiction, ownership structure, banking needs, and expected timeline.

02

Jurisdiction & Structure Review

We help compare suitable options based on credibility, cost, compliance requirements, banking readiness, and long-term business goals.

03

Document Preparation

We guide you on KYC documents, business information, source of funds explanation, ownership details, and required corporate information.

04

Formation Coordination

Once documents are ready and due diligence is completed, the incorporation process is coordinated through the relevant registered agent or formation channel.

05

Company Documents & Next Steps

After formation, clients may receive company documents and guidance on banking preparation, corporate records, annual maintenance, and next steps.

Documents

Prepare a Stronger Formation File

A well-prepared document file can reduce delays, improve communication with registered agents, and support banking or payment provider discussions.

Personal KYC Documents

These help verify directors, shareholders, and beneficial owners before formation or banking preparation.

  • Passport or identity document
  • Proof of residential address
  • Beneficial ownership details
  • Professional or business background
  • Source of funds information where required

Business Information

Clear business information explains why the company is being formed and how it will operate.

  • Proposed company name
  • Business activity description
  • Countries of operation
  • Client or supplier information
  • Banking or payment solution needs

Company Documents

Available company documents may vary by jurisdiction, company type, registered agent, and service package.

  • Certificate of Incorporation
  • Memorandum and Articles
  • Director and shareholder records
  • Share certificate where applicable
  • Good standing or incumbency documents where required

OCR Helps You Organise the File Before Submission

Many delays happen because documents are incomplete, unclear, outdated, uncertified, or not aligned with the company purpose. OCR helps clients prepare a more professional file before it is reviewed by registered agents, banks, EMIs, or payment providers.

Checklist Preparation

We help prepare a document checklist based on your jurisdiction, structure, and business activity.

Completeness Review

We help identify missing information before the file is submitted for formal review.

Certification Guidance

We guide clients when documents may need certification, notarisation, apostille, or translation.

Banking Readiness

We help organise company, KYC, business profile, and source of funds information for banking preparation.

OCR helps with documentation preparation and coordination, but final acceptance depends on the registered agent, bank, EMI, payment provider, authority, or other third party reviewing the file.
