Ordinarily, on receipt of objection an ordinary investor/ company owner/ director is driven by three reactions.
- A reaction of fear
- A reaction of aversion
- A reaction of misunderstanding
In their approach, these reactions are negative, evasive and reactive in character and instead of resolution of the issue there is a likelihood of exploitation or an expedient conclusion which might prove self-defeating.
On the contrary, a prudent investor/ company owner/ director and a right-conscious citizen would react to such objection with following positive approaches: –
- He/she would examine as to whether the objection is as per rules and regulations laid down by SECP for List of Prohibited Words for Company Formation?
