Hi,

That is more of a policy / legal question than a software related one, but I will see if I can get an answer for you.

Good morning,

And many apologies for the delay in coming back to you - I have been awaiting information from our Policy area.

There is currently nothing to stop a dormant company being a corporate director/secretary, although post reform, a corporate director must have all natural persons on its board, and they will all need to be Identified and verified.

I hope this clarifies.
