Process
How it works
Each step says what we do and what we need from you, so nothing stalls on an unasked question.
Review
Licence, activity, ownership and structure mapped against the obligations each creates.
Gap list
What is due, what is overdue, and what does not apply — in writing and in plain language.
Regularisation
Overdue items brought current, in priority order, with any exposure quantified first.
Filings
UBO, ESR and secretarial filings made on time, by us.
Calendar
One dated calendar covering every authority you answer to.
Maintenance
Reviewed when your structure, activity or headcount changes.

What goes wrong
Common mistakes
These are the ones we are asked to unpick most often.
Treating UBO as a formation formality
The register has to be kept current as ownership changes.
Filing an ESR notification and stopping
Where a report is also due, the notification alone is not compliance.
Letting the establishment card lapse
It quietly blocks visa processing until it is renewed.
Keeping the calendar in one person's head
It works until that person is on leave in renewal month.
Why Aizaa
Four reasons you can check
One calendar, every authority
Rather than four sets of reminders in different inboxes.
We file, not just remind
A reminder service is not compliance.
Scoped to what applies to you
We will tell you which obligations do not apply — that is part of the value.
The same firm holds the records
Which is what makes the filings quick and consistent.
Who handles this

Assigned when your file opens
Every Aizaa engagement has one named person responsible for it. You get their direct line — not a shared inbox and not a ticket number. If they are away, you are told who is covering and when they are back.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
A declaration of the natural persons who ultimately own or control the company, maintained in a register and filed with the relevant authority. It has to be kept current as ownership changes — it is not a one-off formation step.
It depends on whether you carry on a relevant activity and on your circumstances in the period. The assessment is the work; the filing follows from it. We will tell you if it does not apply, which is a perfectly common answer.
Designated non-financial businesses and professions carry AML obligations including policies, risk assessment, registration on the relevant platform and reporting. Whether your activity falls in scope is the first thing we check.
It is regularised. We quantify the exposure first so you know what you are dealing with, then deal with it in the order that reduces risk fastest.
Yes — the compliance calendar does exactly that, built from your licence type, financial year end and VAT status.
