Change of Company Address

If you need to change your company’s registered address, the first step is to consider whether the business will remain in the same province or move to a different one. Depending on which government agencies and banks the company is registered with, several parties may need to be notified – sometimes one before the other. For example, a company that is registered for VAT, has employees and is registered with the Social Security Office, has one corporate bank account, and is moving its address to another location in the same province, would need to:

Companies registered with other government agencies, such as the Customs Department, Board of Investment, and so forth, would normally need to notify these agencies as well. There are several documents that need to be prepared to register the change of company address with the various government agencies including supporting landlord documents for the new address; and an Extraordinary General Meeting preceded by a newspaper announcement calling for the meeting, is normally required additionally where the company is moving to a different province. Likewise, if the company supports any foreigners’ visas and work permits, then this would also need to be taken into consideration.
