Remove Director
Remove Director services managed seamlessly by our expert team.
Removing a director from a company follows a specific legal procedure with notice, shareholder approval and ROC filings. Doing it correctly protects the company from disputes. CASYST manages the removal from notice to filing.
What is Remove Director?
A company can remove a director before the end of their term by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders passed at a general meeting, following special notice. The director is entitled to be heard, and the removal is then reported to the Registrar of Companies.
A director may also resign voluntarily, which follows a simpler process.
