      Creating Profiles for Directors and Other Associated Parties

      Creating Profiles for Directors and Other Associated Parties 

      This article will outline the process of adding people (or other entities) to Client profiles and assigning their roles to those entities. This creates a new contact profile, which can appear in your contacts list. If the contact already exists as part of another entity you manage, you will be prompted to search for them first to prevent creating duplicate profiles.

      The process for adding shareholders is different. See our articles: Issuing Shares or Transferring Shares.
