A simple package review is the physical review of certain documents, specifically any agreements or documents that might imply that you could be restricted in controlling the business requesting certification. The business owner requests the review grants temporary confidential privileges to an Abator representative.

The business owner can request a legal review of his/her organizing documents, such as: corporate by-laws; articles of incorporation; partnership, management or franchise agreements; etc. Review of these documents by competent legal advisors will alert you to any problems you might have in meeting the rules about control.  Making sure the documents pass legal review could eliminate potential rejection.  The legal reviewer will make recommendations in a report, and if the lawyer isn't authorized to practice in your state, will provide a specific list of items/questions for you to get from local legal counsel.  When requesting a legal review, the owner grants temporary confidential privileges to an Abator designated attorney.
