How quickly should a change be filed?

Promptly — an out-of-date register creates problems with banks, tenders and later filings.

Can a company have one director?

Partzile's registration and re-registration flows capture at least two directors. Speak to your compliance officer about your specific entity.

Does a resigning director need to sign anything?

A letter of resignation should be uploaded so the change is properly evidenced.
