After you register a company , you may want to issue shares to new shareholders or more shares to existing shareholders. We can help you issue new shares the right way. When issuing new shares, there are certain procedures you must follow, including informing Companies House about the changes to your company’s share structure. Our team will handle all the paperwork and fill in the required forms and submit them on your behalf.
When issuing new shares, Companies House requires you to include a notice about the changes you have made and a statement declaring the following:
Your company’s shares might be normal (ordinary shares) or have special rights or restrictions.
For each type of share your company has, you must also declare:
If it sounds complex, you can breathe a sigh of relief, as our team can take care of the entire process and issue your shares for you while adhering to all regulations.
When you issue new shares for your UK limited company, you must file all the changes made with Companies House. In some cases, you may also need to pass a special resolution by your company’s shareholders and directors. A special resolution is needed to pass your company’s issue of shares if you want to:
Please note that if you issue more shares in your company, you must inform Companies House within a month. For any changes to your share structure, such as those that require a special resolution, you must inform Companies House within the next 21 days.
After you’ve registered your company , you may look to transfer your shares between shareholders. With years of experience and combined knowledge of UK accounting and company procedures, we can help you transfer shares within your limited company in the right way.
Our team will collect the necessary details for the transfer of shares, including the directors and shareholders involved and the exact shares structure before preparing the share transfer form and any other paperwork required. We’ll then file the changes with Companies House. Details of the new shareholder(s) will be listed on the public register when the next company confirmation statement is filed , as these details must be disclosed when your statement is due.
If you require your details to be updated before this date, you will need to file an early confirmation statement. We can prepare a confirmation statement as part of the transfer of shares service for an additional cost of £39 +VAT (this includes the Companies House filing fee).
Anti Money Laundering (AML) regulations require us to request photo ID and proof of address. These will be requested as required by law and must be provided before we can process your transfer of shares.
The transfer of shares is the process of transferring existing shares from one person (shareholder) to another, either by sales or agreement.
