Questions to resolve before proceeding

Byrvia’s research checklist: use these questions with the registry, a suitable adviser and prospective providers.

  • Can your directors satisfy the EEA residence requirement or an applicable alternative?
  • Who will handle the registered office, secretary and annual filings?
  • Where will the company actually be managed and taxed?
