Agreement in 4 months; the company never stopped trading.
Who worked on it
Yes. The founder signs a power of attorney at home, the papers come with an apostille or consular legalisation, and we have them translated in Baku. In our work registration takes 10–15 working days from receiving the papers.
The charter is filed with the registry and anyone can read it. A shareholder agreement stays between the shareholders, and that is where we spell out deadlocks, selling a share to an outsider and how a shareholder leaves.
Ten working days for a small company, 3–4 weeks for one with more than 50 contracts. It depends most on how fast the seller hands over the papers.
We read your papers and tell you what can be done, how long it will take and what it will cost. If you instruct us within 30 days, the meeting fee comes off your first invoice.
