The Verne Company Register provides an online, browser-based solution for the ongoing maintenance and administration of a register of business entities, (often referred to as companies, or corporations, although the term varies depending on the location and legislation that the register is subject to). From this point on this document refers to a Company for ease of reading.
Each jurisdiction, (be it a state, province or country) typically has legislation in place that states:
- How companies must be registered;
- What sort of compliance regime is imposed upon them;
- What items of information must be kept up to date and when;
- What degree of access the public must be afforded to the register;
- A schedule of fees associated with these activities.
The standard Verne Companies Register has taken best practice approach to dealing with the above.
Correspondingly, the body responsible for the administration of the business entities has a defined set of business processes driven by their administrative duties, and these processes vary across a range of technologies and technology constraints.
The standard Company Register product has taken the ‘best of breed’ software tools both generally and specific to common registry management and aligned them with generic business software to provide a combined solution that meets the standard requirements necessary to administer the registry from an internal and external perspective. These tools are known as Business Services. The standard Verne Companies Register’s Business Services are gone through in further detail in the following sections.
