Companies and business registration
Companies allow an activity to become an organisation with its own identity, contracts, responsibilities and representation within Candeia. A profile, shop, brand or wallet does not become a company on its own: legal personality depends on the applicable registration once that system is active.


In brief
Lawful professional, productive and business activity is free. When the law requires legal personality, registration, a licence or another formality, the criteria must be objective, public, relevant to risk and proportionate. The portal does not presume that every seller, collective, guild, profile or digital wallet is already a company.
Start an activity
Freedom of enterprise is the rule; arbitrary barriers, corporate reservation or capital requirements unrelated to risk are not.
Give the activity legal form
When business registration is active, the applicable rules will define types, instruments of incorporation, governance, liability, records and dissolution.
Know who may act
The powers of directors and representatives must be verifiable under the law and the competent records.
Know the real control
The beneficial owner will be identified when required by law, with a defined purpose, proportionality and data protection.
Legal life cycle of a company
The parties define the structure and instrument of incorporation under the applicable law.
The competent register creates or publicises the effects attributed to registration by legislation.
Representation, contracts, obligations, licences and amendments follow the corresponding regime.
Dissolution, restructuring or liquidation does not erase creditors, records or liabilities with a simple click.
