About this document

What it’s for

The legal record of who owns the company’s shares. Every company must keep a register of members, and being entered on it is what makes someone a shareholder in law. This template also records allotments, transfers and share certificates so the history of every holding can be traced.

When to use it

  • When setting up the statutory books for a new company
  • To bring the register back in-house if it was previously kept at Companies House
  • Every time shares are allotted, transferred or transmitted on death or bankruptcy

What’s inside

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.

  • Part F – Index of members
  • Maintenance checklist

How to complete it

  • Fill in the front sheet and the share capital summary (Part A)
  • Open a member account (Part B) for each shareholder; copy the page as needed
  • Record every allotment in Part C and every transfer in Part D, and cross-refer to Part B
  • Keep the register at the registered office or the notified inspection address and keep it up to date

Key points to check

  • Entries must be made promptly – for a transfer, within two months of it being lodged
  • Record full names now, ahead of the new full-name requirement

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.
