Director changes are a filing that needs to be completed with the government. This is because the government records all changes to your directors.
Director changes are subject to a one-time fee on the Online Minute Book Plan. There is no charge if you are on the Managed Corporation Plan.
Director changes will be filed with the government after all parties sign the relevant documents. Ownr will notify you once your changes are complete.
Once the change is filed with the government you can see your director changes reflected under Organization > Directors. You can also find all corresponding documents detailing the change under Organization > Minute Book.
