Hi everyone, and Dave

Need some advice from you guys please. Myself and 2 friends are wanting to register a new business together, we would all like to be named Directors on the application form, but now would this pose a problem with regards to opening up a bank account for the business? Reason I ask is, I am currently in the UK and will only be returning to SA in a couple of years time. Will the other 2 guys still be able to open up a bank account or do I also have to sign the papers? Is there such a thing as a silent or foreign Director?

Thanks.
