How to resign a director
Estimated reading time: 1 minute and 30 seconds
The memorandum of incorporation (MOI) determines the minimum number of directors and alternate directors, which, in the case of a private company may not be less than one director. A customised MOI will also set out the eligibility requirements for a director as well as the directors’ term of office. In the case of a standard MOI, the term of office is indefinite and there is no restriction on the number of directors. New directors may be elected by the Board of Directors when there is a vacancy or the company wishes to add directors.
With InfoDocs, resigning a director is quick and simple.
Step 1: In your company profile, navigate to the Directors tab, and click on the director you would like to remove.
Step 2: Under Actions, click on Terminate Appointment.
Step 3: Stipulate the resignation/removal date and the reason for termination and click Save.
Step 4: InfoDocs will automatically create an Ordinary Resolution and a Letter of Resignation. Download and save these documents and close the box. Alternatively, you can access these documents later in the [Documents tab](https://support.infodocs.co.za/company/the-documents-tab/) under PDF Templates. Proceed to select the Submit to CIPC option.
