A resignation of director can be effected by the existing director tendering his resignation to the board of directors.
You can have an existing director resigned from your company as long as they are not the only director that is currently listed on the board of directors.
If you are seeking to replace a single director with another one, you would need to add the new director first before having the old one resigned to ensure that there is always at least one serving director listed for the company at all times.
The sole company director must also be a person, not a corporate entity such as another company or a firm.
