How filing works in Barbados
The company presses submit. You do the rest. In Barbados, the portal's team-user option isn't confirmed. You don't file on the portal: you do the registrations, certificates and attested documents in your own name, prepare the bid, and can guide the client through the submission.
Guided filing sessions are paid work too: you sit with the client’s signatory, file by file, until the receipt is saved. Nobody ever uses the client’s login or signature.
