How is authority to sign for a company assessed?

Working for a company does not mean a person can sign every contract for it.

These explanations provide general information and do not replace an assessment of individual circumstances.

Short questions

Which distinction matters?

Current representation records, signing arrangements and any specific authorisation are considered together. Sole and joint signing requirements may differ. The company name in the agreement should also match current company details.

What can I share for an initial assessment?

Company type, the parties’ roles as owners or managers and a short description are useful initially. Identify available company documents and decisions.

Does this guidance establish the same outcome in every case?

No. This page explains general concepts. Documents, the countries involved and the sequence of events can change the assessment. A particular procedure or outcome requires consideration of the individual circumstances.
