Corporate health checks

Know where every entity stands

We review the records and filings of each entity in 180+ jurisdictions, confirm whether it is in good standing and set out what needs attention in one report.

When a health check helps

.01

Before a transaction

A sale, a fundraising round or a restructuring. Investors and advisers will expect your corporate records to be in order.

.02

After an acquisition

New entities opened at speed, or inherited from another group, often arrive with gaps no one has looked at.

.03

As a regular check

A periodic review brings gaps to light while there is still time to fix them, not under deadline pressure or after a fine.

Five years of records, checked

What the records say, and whether the public record agrees.

For each entity, we look back over at least five years. We check its shareholding history, its directors and officers, and its compliance with the standard corporate secretarial requirements of its jurisdiction.

We verify what we find against the secretary of state or, outside the US, the local corporate registry, and against the documents you share with us. For US entities, we can add an automated Compliance Scan.

FAQs

Which jurisdictions do you cover?

180+ worldwide.

How far back do you look?

At least five years from the date of the review.

What do you need from us?

The list of entities to include, and the corporate documents you hold for them, such as minute books, registers and resolutions.

Can you fix what you find?

Yes. We prepare a detailed costed remediation plan, and our team can carry out the remediation.

How is a health check different from a Compliance Scan?

A health check is a review by our team of each entity’s history over at least five years, in any jurisdiction. The Compliance Scan is an automated check of the current data of your US entities against all 50 state registries.

If we use the Compliance Monitor, do we still need a health check?

The monitor checks the current data of your US entities every day. A health check also covers past filings, shareholding history and your entities outside the US.

Corporate health check for a US EPC company

AT A GLANCE
How a North America-based EPC company brought every entity in LATAM, EMEA and APAC back into compliance

The company had grown faster than its entity management. Kalexius reviewed every entity outside North America, reported the risks to the group and its officers, and set out a costed plan to fix them. After the review, every entity was compliant.

.03 RESULTS
The situation

The company is a global leader in engineering, procurement and construction. Over several years it had grown organically, opening entities across Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific as projects required.

Its entity management had not kept up. The in-house team had dozens of entities with little or no information on file, and others where no annual maintenance had been done for years. Nobody could say with confidence which entities were in good standing, who their directors were, or what was overdue.

What we did
  • A senior team of lawyers in every region. We assigned senior lawyers from across our offices to carry out the review in each of the company’s jurisdictions.
  • A review of every entity. The team checked the legal and compliance status of each entity and listed the issues it found, entity by entity.
  • An audit report of more than 200 pages. The report set out the findings for every entity and highlighted the significant risks to the group and to its officers.
  • A costed remediation plan. For each gap, we set out what needed to be done and what it would cost, so the company could plan and budget the work.
Results
  • Every entity compliant. After remediation, 100% of the company’s entities in LATAM, EMEA and APAC were compliant.
  • Full visibility. The company now knows the status and governance of every entity outside North America.
  • Lower risk. Corporate and regulatory risks were reduced across all the jurisdictions reviewed.
  • 85% less in-house corporate secretarial work. The in-house team moved from fixing past problems to higher-value work such as M&A.
