Articles of Association (Private Company Limited by Shares)
About this document
Every company has articles of association – the rules for how it is run. Many companies still use the unamended Model Articles, which do not deal with common situations such as a sole director, different classes of shares for different dividends, or what happens when a shareholder wants to sell. These articles keep the familiar Model Articles as a base and add carefully drafted extra provisions.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
