Add a relationship
- Open the client and click the Corporate Group tab.
- Click + Add Relationships.
- Choose the Relationship type: this company is the holding company, a subsidiary, or an associate of the other company.
- Search for the Related entity. You can also type the name of a company that is not your client.
- Check the Legal reference. DueFiler fills the section of the Companies Act for you.
- Choose the Effective from date and click Add Relationship.
What you will seeThe link appears in the group table. The same link shows from the other company’s side.
End a relationship
- In the group table, open the row menu and click End.
- Click End Relationship to confirm.
The relationship moves to Past Relationships. It is not deleted, so you keep the history.
Good to know
- DueFiler stops a link that would make a circle, for example a company that holds its own holding company.
- A chain of more than two layers is allowed, but DueFiler warns you. Check the Layers Rules, 2017. The warning shows on the Overview tab.
- Tasks are still made one company at a time. Each company in a group has its own filings.
Cannot see this on your screen?
- Your role must be one of these: Admin, Partner, Company Secretary. If it is not, ask your Admin to check your access.
- If your firm’s trial has ended, DueFiler is read-only. You can see everything, but you cannot add or change anything.
