1. What is it?

A Legal Entity Management Platform enables companies and organizations to efficiently manage all their legal entities (holdings, operational companies, SPVs, subsidiaries and branches). Moreover, it generates detailed overviews of ownership structures, voting rights and governance bodies. As such, it relieves you and your legal advisors from tedious and time consuming administrative work. A cloud based Legal Entity Management platform is flexible as to support almost any type of organization. Such solution trumps Excel or other spreadsheets.

2. What are the benefits?

The following core functionalities are essential to a Legal Entity Management Platform:

• All basic information and core documents of all group entities are centrally stored.
• All directorships are kept up to date.
• The platform administers all participations (both those of the mother entities and the subsidiaries). 
• Legally required share registers are managed fully digital. At any moment, you can export and print copies of the entire register or of individual certificates. 
• Automatic creation of visual org charts of the group structures, detailed according to your own wishes.
• The platform automatically generates all legal documents in the framework of the annual general meeting or during specific ad hoc changes (capital increase, change of directors, etc.).
• Integrations with the mostly used and common e-signing providers.
• You determine which stakeholders get online access to certain information. 
• Shortcuts to the relevant enterprise registers.
• Robust security through adequate ISO-certification, multifactor-authentication and advanced user permissions.
