2Shakes lets you capture your client’s consent to act on their behalf with Companies Office when you sign them up. If Companies Office is selected during sign up, when the client has completed e-signing their agreement with you our system sends the Companies Office a request using an API. This request goes into a processing queue in the Companies Office system and once it has been processed you will see your client when you log on to Companies Office.
