Issue of Shares Service
Including all compliance paperwork
The issue of shares is the process by which companies create new shares to pass onto shareholders, who may themselves be new or existing shareholders. Companies can issue shares to both individuals and corporate bodies.
Please note: Details of share issues will not be updated on the Companies House register until after the filing of the next confirmation statement (previously known as the annual return). Clients wishing to record share issues now should file a confirmation statement. If share issues are required to open a business bank account, we always recommend filing a confirmation statement.
We can prepare a confirmation statement as part of this order, at an additional cost of £74.95.
What’s included in our price?
We will prepare the following documentation:
- Application Letter: All shareholders wishing to buy new shares should sign a letter addressed to the company, applying for new shares, and agreeing to take them.
- Special Resolution (where applicable): If a company is issuing more shares to a new shareholder, the existing shareholder(s) must pass a special resolution.
- Meeting Minutes: Companies are required by Companies Act 2006 s.248 to maintain minutes of all meetings of the directors, and for these to be available for inspection by any director.
- Return of Allotment of Shares (Form SH01): This form is used to increase the share capital of a company, and it must be completed and delivered to Companies House within one month of any issue of shares.
- Share Certificate(s): Companies are required to issue share certificates to shareholders.
