company in a lawful manner.

document that allows you to nominate
a person or organization to run your
business if you become unable to do it.
• The Articles of Incorporation (AOI),
which is a document that secures the
existence of the company.
• A Company letter.

entity brochure which is sometimes
mandatory.
