VerifiedHi, can you please provide some further information, before I address your query.
1. is there a reason you are not a Director of the company?
2. is the other shareholder, the sole Director?
3. is there a Company Constitution, and/or Shareholders Agreement?
I await your responses before proceeding.
Kind regards,
