Ownar
Read full descriptionHide full description
Ownar keeps track of the companies you own and tells you what's due, before it costs you. If you own a Hong Kong company, a Singapore Pte Ltd, or an offshore holding structure, the deadlines don't stop coming: Business Registration renewals, annual returns, government fees, tax filings. Miss one and you're paying penalties ā or worse, facing strike-off. Ownar puts every company and every deadline in one place, and reminds you well before the date. WHAT OWNAR DOES ⢠Track every company you own ā Hong Kong, Singapore, BVI, Cayman, or anywhere else. ⢠Get deadlines automatically. Enter the incorporation date and financial year end, and Ownar suggests the standard filings for that jurisdiction ā HK Business Registration renewal and Annual Return (NAR1), Singapore ACRA annual return and ECI, BVI government fees and economic substance, Cayman annual return. ⢠Be reminded in time. Notifications at 30 days, 7 days, 1 day, and on the day. ⢠See everything at a glance. A calendar of what's due, colour-coded by urgency, across all your companies. ⢠Keep the paperwork together. Store your BR, certificate of incorporation, registers, minutes and resolutions in the standard company-secretary folders. ⢠Record what matters. Registration and BR numbers, company type, registered agent, financial year end ā all tap-to-copy. ⢠Bank accounts. Bank name, account number, bank and branch codes, SWIFT, multi-currency. ⢠Shareholding. Record shareholders and subsidiaries, and export a clean org chart to share.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BoardRoom at none against Ownar's 2. Ownar's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
