Discuss who will act for the company, what authority they need and how the appointment fits the incorporation documents and initial RFC registration.
For an existing company
Review the current appointment and any powers to replace. Identify registrations and accounts that may need to reflect the change.
Boundaries of the appointment
Distinguish administrative representation from broader banking or corporate powers. Review eligibility and documentation for the intended procedures.
