Assess

We review the business model, owner profile, target markets, and immediate operating needs before recommending a path.

Prepare

Documents, names, addresses, ownership details, identity checks, and supporting records are organized before filing or application work starts.

File

We coordinate registration, application, or document preparation with clear status updates and realistic authority-dependent timelines.

Maintain

After setup, we help track renewals, filings, address records, payment onboarding, and annual maintenance obligations.

Compliance review

What Abner checks before filings, applications, and maintenance move forward.

Each engagement is reviewed against the records institutions ask for: who owns and controls the company, where it is registered, who can sign, which filings are due, and which documents banks, processors, registries, and tax authorities are likely to request.

Identity, KYC, sanctions, lawful-purpose, beneficial-ownership, and control-structure review.

Entity name, jurisdiction, registered office, director, officer, PSC, member, and responsible-party records.

Formation papers, corporate registers, agreements, resolutions, signatures, and filing evidence.

Bank, fintech, Stripe, PayPal, EIN, VAT, tax, and business-activity documentation packs.

Annual filings, renewals, address records, trademark dates, registered-agent or office dates, and maintenance calendars.
