Frequently Asked Questions
What are bespoke articles of association?
-
Bespoke articles of association are customised governing documents tailored by you specifically to your company's unique requirements. Unlike standard articles that follow generic templates, bespoke articles created by you, will reflect your specific business structure, shareholding arrangements, and operational needs while ensuring full compliance with UK company law.
When should I consider bespoke articles for my company?
+
Consider bespoke articles when forming companies with complex shareholding structures, seeking investor funding, planning family business succession, requiring specific operational controls, or anticipating future growth that standard articles cannot accommodate.
Can bespoke articles be amended after company formation?
+
Yes, but amendments require a special resolution (75% shareholder majority), filing with Companies House (£15 fee), and compliance with existing restrictions. However, it's more cost-effective to get articles right from formation rather than making multiple amendments later.
Do bespoke articles comply with UK company law?
+
Absolutely. All bespoke articles must fully comply with the Companies Act 2006, preserve statutory shareholder rights, maintain directors' duties, meet filing requirements, and ensure legal enforceability. Our qualified legal professionals ensure all provisions comply with current legislation while achieving your business objectives.
What provisions can be included in bespoke articles?
+
Bespoke articles can include multiple share classes with different rights, weighted voting arrangements, pre-emption and share transfer restrictions, tag-along and drag-along rights, customised board procedures, specific quorum requirements, dividend policies, reserved matters requiring special approval, exit provisions, dispute resolution mechanisms, and investor protection clauses.
Are bespoke articles suitable for small businesses?
+
Bespoke articles benefit small businesses with family succession needs, investor funding requirements, multiple partners requiring clear agreements, unique operational structures, or planned growth and investment rounds. Simple business structures may find standard articles sufficient.
Why choose bespoke articles over standard articles?
+
Standard articles may not accommodate complex business structures. You need bespoke articles for multiple share classes, specific voting rights, unique director procedures, investor rights and restrictions, dividend arrangements, family business succession planning, or partnership-style shareholder arrangements. Bespoke articles ensure your company structure matches your exact business needs from formation.
