Board change, transferring accounts to a new director
A board change touches more than KvK paperwork. Domains, registrar accounts, mail admin and payment tools often sit in the old director's name and need to move cleanly.
Try this first
- 1List all accounts where the old director is owner or admin, not only email but also DNS, hosting, banking tools and app stores.
- 2Add the new director as secondary admin first, before removing the old one, otherwise you are stuck if something goes wrong mid-transfer.
- 3Update owner data at the domain registrar and hosting provider with the correct KvK reference, so the company stays owner, not the person.
- 4Update minutes and board-resolution documents for accountants and bank, since without formal documentation some tools refuse the change.
- 5Reset passwords and rebuild password-manager access, even if the old director leaves on friendly terms, that is just good hygiene.
- 6Plan a check one month later on all invoices and mail forwards, since some tools keep emailing the old person.
When to bring us in
In a contentious board change where the old director will not cooperate, bring in a lawyer immediately. Vectel can support a lawful transfer technically but cannot force access.
