    Full Answer

    B.To disclose any secret profits made during the promotion of the company.✓ Correct
    A promoter stands in a fiduciary relationship with the company they are forming. This means they must act in good faith, avoid conflicts of interest, and crucially, disclose any profits they make from transactions involving the company. Failure to disclose secret profits allows the company to rescind the contract or sue for the profit.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing the role of a promoter with the role of a guarantor.
