To complete an incorporation, the user selects the type of company or partnership wanted and then ACORN takes the user through the incorporation process on a step by step basis, with a series of questions that are completed by checking options from drop down boxes. Standard articles of incorporation, which can be customized for future use, have been entered into the system. Once the articles are completed, the screen provides the user with a registration application form to review prior to final submission. Upon submission and acceptance, the certificate of incorporation immediately appears on screen and can be printed. In addition, ACORN allows for companies and their articles to be incorporated in a variety of foreign languages.

A sub menu for each of the corporate vehicles and limited partnerships is also available. These sub menus list all documents and registry activities which the relative corporate legislation either permit or require the company to file. In either case the system takes the user through each process with "Help" and "Legislation" buttons, both of which are always available. The entire registration process is simplicity itself.

All overseas agents must credit ACORN with sufficient funds to allow for the immediate payment of Government services. It is suggested that a deposit be established appropriate to the volume of business which the overseas agent anticipates undertaking. When an activity is undertaken and an expense is incurred, the system will show on screen the cost of that transaction, debit the overseas agents account, and display that overseas agent's account balance. Each cost can be routinely checked with the fees applicable to that activity, as shown under the menu item "Inquires". Each fee is exactly the same as prescribed under the various pieces of company legislation.

Of course, the payment arrangements made with each licensed Anguillian practitioner are a matter of private agreement.
