A set of bespoke 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). If specialist tax advice is needed, I can recommend a suitable accountant or tax adviser.
FAQ
Q: Do I need bespoke Articles or will the model articles do?
A: 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’ agreement?
A: 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.
