When does a company require a director and/or secretary to be appointed?
A director is elected by the shareholders to manage the affairs of the company. The company director may be an individual person who leads the company or be a member of the Board of Directors, which is appointed by the shareholders. A secretary acts in the capacity of the administrator of the company, and is subordinate to the director or board of directors. The secretary can be a joint director but a sole director cannot hold both positions at the same time.
