Bespoke Articles of Association

£595.00

Bespoke drafting of articles of association, tailored to your company's specific requirements. This is the right choice if you need articles that go beyond the standard model articles — for example, to create multiple share classes, restrict share transfers, or define specific director and shareholder powers.

What's included

  • A consultation to understand your company structure and requirements.
  • Drafting of bespoke Articles covering share classes, decision-making, transfer restrictions, and any other provisions you need.
  • One round of revisions based on your feedback.
  • Final version ready for adoption by special resolution.

What's not included

  • Filing the special resolution at Companies House (I can advise you on the process).
  • Shareholders' agreement (see separate service).
  • Tax advice (including VAT, corporation tax, income tax, capital gains tax, and stamp duty).

FAQ

Q: Do I need bespoke Articles or will the model articles do?

If you have co-founders, investors, or multiple share classes, bespoke Articles are strongly recommended. The default model articles are designed as a basic starting point and do not cover many common commercial scenarios.

Q: What is the difference between Articles and a shareholders'

Articles are a public document filed at Companies House. A shareholders' agreement is a private contract between the shareholders. Many businesses need both, and they should be consistent with each other.
