The Cook Islands
A NET of 15 islands in the heart of the South Pacific spread over an area the size of India with a population no bigger than a small New Zealand country town, 15,000 souls. These unique and friendly Polynesians have their own language and government and enjoy a vigorous and diverse culture with significant differences between each island. Despite some 100,000 visitors a year to the capital island – Rarotonga – the Cooks are largely unspoiled by tourism. They offer a rare opportunity for people from the cities of the world to experience a different type of vacation. There are no high-rise hotels and very little hype. Ideal for travellers seeking more than the usual clichés associated with the South Seas, each island has its unique qualities and offers the visitor a special experience.

These are required tasks for many of the offshore jurisdictions around. Does the agent you have been using to help you incorporate your business in Cook Islands also do this for you?
 
You may try one of these, they are looking professional at least don't know if they can be trusted:

Headquartered in Singapore, Asiaciti Trust has operations in the Cook Islands, Dubai, Hong Kong, London, Nevis, New Zealand, Panama and Samoa, and also offers services in the British Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Seychelles and elsewhere. Each office is headed by professional accountants and lawyers, who service a global clientele.
Asiaciti Trust - International | Trusts | Companies | Tax

But they are headquartered in Singapore so it means they are using a intermediate to do the incorporation there, you may find some cheaper than this.

This Cook Islands Trust Corporation Ltd - Asset Protection Trust, Protected Fund Investment Trust, Limited Liability Companies seems to be a more direct source for company formation in Cook Islands. They are a Trust and may be able to help you with other service than just the incorporation of your business there.
