Choose company officerholders

Directors and secretaries are known as the officeholders of a company. For each officeholder, you will need to provide their:

  • given and family names
  • date of birth
  • place of birth, and
  • residential address.

You need to obtain written consent from each person you are appointing as a company officeholder and keep this with your company records. We include these consent templates as part of our company registration package.

Directors

A proprietary company must have at least one director, however, you can appoint more than one if you want to.

Secretaries

Proprietary companies do not need to have a secretary but you can appoint one or more if you want to.
