Change of agent: prices by jurisdiction
Starting prices excluding tax, government fees included.
What the service covers
- Compliance audit: missing filings, registers not kept, deadlines passed.
- Regularising arrears before transfer, to avoid a block at the registry.
- Transfer of the registered agent and registered office.
- Resuming the filing calendar and issuing an up-to-date corporate file.
In practice
The registered agent is the company's official contact with the registry: it receives notices, keeps certain registers and files returns. A change is usually made by a company resolution and a form filed with the registry, with the outgoing agent's consent or resignation. An outgoing agent may hold the file while its invoices remain unpaid, and the registry may refuse the transfer if the company is not in good standing. Hence the review before the change.
Framework and documents
The transfer follows the law of the jurisdiction: in the British Virgin Islands, through a notice filed with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs; elsewhere, through a resolution and a registry form. Documents usually requested: articles, registers of directors and shareholders, certificate of good standing, identity of the beneficial owners, a letter from the outgoing agent.
Recorded on 1 October 2026; to be checked for each file.
What we tell you before we start
We always start with the audit. Taking over a file without knowing what is missing means inheriting someone else's penalties.
