The registered agent finishes due diligence on every owner and director, then files the memorandum and articles with the Registrar General's Department, which issues the certificate of incorporation. After that we hold the first board resolutions, issue the shares, prepare the registers and file the beneficial ownership information. Bearer shares are not allowed, so every share is issued to a named holder.
