Company Director

An officer will be any individual or company who will act as either a director, secretary or shareholder.

A private limited company is required to have at least one director and one member. For a private company at least one director must be a real person rather than a corporate officer only. A private company has the choice of appointing a company secretary or not.

A public limited company must have at least two directors and a secretary, who may be one of the directors and two members.

The directors must manage the affairs of the company in compliance with the clauses in the articles and association and abiding by the law. The secretary is the administrator of the company and is responsible for ensuring proper adherence to the regulations and company policy.
