How to Onboard an Existing Company into Euronexis

Bringing an entity you already own into one workspace: what to gather, what gets checked, and what changes afterwards.

Most companies that come to Euronexis already exist. They were formed somewhere reasonable, and then the records scattered — a formation agent holds the corporate documents, an accountant holds the filings, a founder's inbox holds everything else, and nobody holds the picture of what falls due next.

Onboarding starts by reconstructing that picture: the corporate record set, the current filing and good-standing position, the licences held and their renewal conditions, the ownership chain as actually registered, and the recurring obligations that apply in every jurisdiction the company touches. Where something is missing or overdue, the point of the exercise is to find it now rather than during a bank's review.

From there the entity is managed like any other case — documents held in the workspace vault, obligations tracked against dates with a named owner, and an entity health score that degrades as items fall due, so the position is visible before it becomes urgent. Nothing about the company itself changes. What changes is that its state is knowable without three phone calls.

Checklist

What to gather before onboarding

01Certificate of incorporation and constitutional documentsThe founding set, including any amendments filed since.
02Current registers of directors and shareholdersAs filed with the authority, which is not always what the founders believe them to be.
03Most recent annual return or confirmation filingThe quickest way to establish whether the company is actually in good standing.
04Latest financial statements and tax filingsIncluding any period where a return was not filed, and the reason it was not.
05Licences, permits, and their renewal conditionsWith the activity each one authorises, so scope creep can be identified.
06Registered office or agent agreementAnd confirmation of who is currently paying for it.
07Beneficial ownership register as filedCompared against the ownership position today, before anyone else compares it.
08Banking and payment provider detailsWhich accounts exist, in which entity's name, and what each is used for.
09Any known overdue or disputed filingDeclared at the start; it sets the remediation order for everything that follows.
