SEC Regular Amendment of Articles
Structural and Substantive Changes to Corporate Articles (e.g., Purpose, Capital, Name)
This deliverable supports corporations in making substantial amendments to their Articles of Incorporation. Examples include changes in corporate name, capital stock, business purpose, term, principal office (inter-regional), or board structure. JKNC ensures legal formatting, compliance, and SEC approval through eAMEND or eSPARC, depending on the type of amendment.

Corporations needing to make significant changes to their legal setup—whether to pivot, raise capital, realign governance, or prepare for acquisition or partnerships.
How Long Does It Take?
10–25 business days depending on the nature of change and completeness of board documents.
What If I Don’t Have All My Information Yet?

Will JKNC Do the Filing/Execution?
Yes. Includes drafting, legal formatting, portal submission, and SEC coordination unless advisory-only is selected.
Will It Be Accepted by Government Agencies and Bodies?

Can Foreign Entities Use This?
