The sole trader can name the representative alone. Here is what they need to bring: consent form, name, surname and the social security number of the person they want to name. Previously the future business procurator has to fill out and sign the consent form. Then the DATA point expert puts the information into a new form. They print this form and the owner signs it. Then the clerk sends the form to AJPES. They send the decision to the s.p. in a few days. At this point the procurator is registered as part of the company. When he visits a bank for example, the clerk will be able to check it in the register. A sole proprietor can remove the representative any time. In fact, they do not need a consent form to do it.
