HomeExpede Sign
Electronic signing for the resolutions, consents and engagement documents we prepare for your company, with a record of who signed what and when kept alongside each one.
This is a signing and document trail tool for the corporate paperwork we prepare, not a general legal platform. Knowing where that line sits is the useful part.
Board and members' resolutions go out for signature and come back completed, each signature dated. Directors in different countries sign the same document without anyone posting paper between Singapore and Manila.
Consent to act as a director, consent to act as company secretary, and the paperwork around appointments and resignations run the same route. Signed copies land straight into the company records.
The engagement letter, the fee schedule and the identity checks you complete when you start with us go out this way. You see the fixed fee written down before you sign, and your copy stays where you reach it.
Every document carries a record of who signed, from which email address and at what time. When an auditor or a bank asks how a resolution was approved, that record answers the question without a search through inboxes.
Not every document type is validly signed by electronic means, and some counterparties refuse them regardless. We flag the items in your pack that need wet ink and arrange those separately, rather than letting you find out at the counter.
Shareholders, directors and the company secretary each receive the documents that need their signature and nothing else. Reminders go to whoever is holding the pack up, which is usually why a filing slips.
There is nothing for you to set up. Documents arrive when there is something to sign, and the signed version goes into the company records without a further step from you.
A resolution, consent or engagement letter is drafted here and checked before it goes anywhere. Nothing is sent for signature until the wording matches what the filing or the appointment needs, because a signed document with the wrong date is worse than an unsigned one.
Often the same dayEach person who has to sign gets a link by email holding only their documents. There is no account to create and no software to install, which matters when a shareholder overseas is being asked to sign something on a phone.
Minutes to signProgress stays visible while signing is open, so you know who is outstanding. Reminders go to those people rather than to everyone, and we tell you when a document sits unsigned close to a statutory deadline.
Until everyone signsThe completed document and its signing record are stored with your company records, beside the minute book and the statutory registers. When ACRA, a bank or an auditor asks for it, the copy is there and the dates hold up.
Same day as completionExpede Sign is part of what you already pay on a Comply or Complete package. Signing is not billed on top of either one.
No per-document fee and no per-signer fee applies, because charging by the signature pushes clients back towards printing and scanning, which is the habit this is meant to end.

Talk to usIncluded for clients on a Comply or Complete package. Package fees exclude GST. Documents needing wet ink are handled separately, and anything carrying a third party cost is quoted first.
Electronic signing is widely used for company documents here, but it does not stretch to every document type, and some counterparties insist on paper whatever the position is. We give no blanket yes. Each item in your pack is checked, and anything needing wet ink is flagged before it goes out for signature.
It depends on the document, and sometimes on who is receiving it. Certain instruments sit outside electronic signing, and individual banks and registries take their own line. We go through your pack, mark those items and arrange paper signing for them, so you are not turned away at a counter.
No. Each signer receives a link by email that opens the documents assigned to them. Nothing is installed and no account is created. That matters most for an overseas shareholder who signs once a year and has no reason to keep another login.
No. Expede Sign covers the corporate documents we prepare for you, which means resolutions, consents and engagement paperwork. Commercial contracts, leases and employment agreements sit outside it. Use a service built for those, and keep the company records and their signing trail here.
It is stored with your company records together with the record of who signed and when. Resolutions feed the minute book and the statutory registers, so the signed copy and the register entry are made at the same time, rather than months later when somebody asks for proof.
If you are already with us, the next resolution we prepare reaches you this way. If you are not, ask to see a sample pack before you commit to a package.
