CORPORATE SERVICES

Corporate Services: Keep Your Regulated Entity Compliant and Operational

Ongoing corporate administration that keeps your company in good standing — registered office, secretarial support, directors, substance, governance, and statutory filings, managed under one mandate.

Overview

A licence or an incorporated entity is the beginning, not the end. Once a company is live, it has to be maintained: a registered address that receives official correspondence, statutory registers kept current, annual returns and accounts filed on time, board and shareholder decisions properly recorded, and — for regulated and tax-sensitive structures — demonstrable local substance. SKY7 provides this back-office layer across 46 jurisdictions, so your entity stays compliant and operational while your team concentrates on the business. We act as a single point of accountability across registered office, company secretary, directorship, substance and governance, coordinating with registries, regulators and your auditors on your behalf.

01

Registered office and registered agent

Every jurisdiction requires a registered address where official mail, regulator notices and registry correspondence are served — and where statutory records are kept available for inspection. SKY7 provides the registered office and, where the jurisdiction requires it, the registered agent, in each of the locations we cover.

We receive, log and forward your statutory correspondence promptly, flag anything time-critical, and maintain the documents that must be held at the registered address. This is the foundation that keeps a company contactable and in good standing; a missed registry notice or an unmonitored address is one of the most common reasons entities fall into default.

02

Company secretary

In many of the jurisdictions we serve, a company secretary is either mandatory or strongly expected, and the role carries real responsibility: maintaining the statutory registers, convening board and general meetings, preparing notices and minutes, and ensuring corporate actions are documented and filed correctly.

SKY7 acts as your company secretary or supports your in-house team. We keep the register of directors, members and beneficial owners current, prepare board and shareholder resolutions, maintain the minute book, and make sure each decision is recorded and lodged where it needs to be. The result is a clean, auditable corporate record that stands up to regulator, bank and investor scrutiny.

03

Nominee and professional directors

Some structures require directors who are resident locally, independent, or appropriately qualified — for regulatory fit-and-proper purposes, for tax residency and management-and-control, or to meet a jurisdiction's local-director requirement. SKY7 provides experienced professional and nominee directors who take their duties seriously.

Our directors engage genuinely with the entity: they review and approve material decisions, attend board meetings, and exercise proper oversight rather than acting as a name on a register. Appointments are documented with clear terms, and we work within the governance framework agreed with you. We do not provide arrangements designed to obscure beneficial ownership or circumvent disclosure obligations.

04

Substance support

Regulators, banks and tax authorities increasingly expect a licensed or holding entity to have real economic substance in its jurisdiction — not merely a registered address. Depending on the structure, that can mean local office space, qualified local staff or directors, board meetings held in-country, and decision-making genuinely exercised there.

SKY7 helps you build and evidence substance proportionate to your activity and risk profile: office solutions, local personnel and directors, locally-held board meetings, and the documentation that demonstrates management and control sit where they should. We design substance to match the commercial reality of your operation and the expectations of the relevant authority, and we keep the evidence trail current so it is ready when a regulator, bank or auditor asks.

05

Corporate governance

A regulated entity is judged on how it is run, not only on its licence. Sound governance — a functioning board, clear delegation of authority, documented policies, and proper records of how decisions are reached — is what regulators, correspondent banks and investors look for during reviews and due diligence.

SKY7 helps you put a practical governance framework in place and keep it operating: board composition and meeting cadence, terms of reference and delegated authorities, conflict-of-interest and related-party procedures, and the secretarial discipline that captures it all in writing. We tailor the framework to the size and risk of the entity, so it is robust enough to satisfy scrutiny without becoming an administrative burden on a lean team.

06

Filings and renewals

Annual returns, financial-statement filings, licence and registration renewals, beneficial-ownership and register updates, economic-substance reports, and regulator notifications all run to deadlines — and the penalties for missing them range from fines to strike-off or licence consequences. Keeping track of these across multiple entities and jurisdictions is where many groups stumble.

SKY7 maintains a compliance calendar for every entity under our mandate and manages each obligation end to end: we prepare the filings, liaise with the registry or regulator, process renewals, and confirm completion back to you. You receive advance notice of what is due and clear confirmation once it is filed, so nothing lapses and your entities stay continuously in good standing.

07

Changes to the corporate structure

Companies evolve — new directors and shareholders, share transfers and capital changes, registered-name or registered-office changes, amendments to constitutional documents, group reorganisations, redomiciliation, and eventual wind-down or strike-off. Each change has to be approved correctly, documented, and filed with the registry and, where relevant, the regulator.

SKY7 manages these transactions through to completion: we draft the resolutions and supporting documents, update the statutory registers, prepare and lodge the registry and regulatory filings, and coordinate with your legal, tax and banking advisers so the change is reflected consistently everywhere it matters. Whether it is a single director appointment or a multi-jurisdiction reorganisation, we keep the corporate record accurate and the entity compliant throughout.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which jurisdictions do you provide corporate services in?

We provide ongoing corporate services across 46 jurisdictions, spanning the EU and EEA, the UK, Switzerland, the UAE and a range of offshore centres. The exact services that are mandatory — for example whether a company secretary or a locally-resident director is required — vary by jurisdiction, and we scope each mandate to the local requirements that apply to your entity.

What is the difference between a nominee director and a professional director?

Both are appointed to satisfy regulatory, residency or local-director requirements, and both engage genuinely with the entity and exercise proper oversight. The distinction is usually one of emphasis: a professional director is appointed for their experience and standing to contribute to the board, while a nominee director is appointed primarily to meet a formal requirement such as local residency. In either case our directors carry out their statutory duties, and we do not provide arrangements intended to conceal beneficial ownership.

Do you only manage entities that SKY7 helped set up?

No. We take on corporate administration for existing entities as well as ones we have incorporated or licensed. When we adopt an existing company, we typically begin with a short review of the statutory records, outstanding filings and registers, bring anything overdue back into good standing, and then maintain the entity on an ongoing basis.

What does substance actually involve, and why does it matter?

Substance means having genuine economic presence in the jurisdiction — which, depending on the structure, can include local office space, qualified staff or directors, board meetings held in-country and decision-making exercised there. It matters because regulators, correspondent banks and tax authorities increasingly expect a licensed or holding entity to be more than a registered address, and inadequate substance can jeopardise banking relationships, tax treatment and the licence itself. We help you build substance proportionate to your activity and keep the supporting evidence current.

How do you make sure statutory deadlines are not missed?

Each entity under our mandate is placed on a compliance calendar that tracks every recurring obligation — annual returns, accounts, licence and registration renewals, register and beneficial-ownership updates, and substance or regulatory reports. We notify you in advance of what is due, manage the preparation and filing, and confirm back to you once each item is lodged, so obligations are met on time and the entity stays continuously in good standing.
