Specialist Companies
We can attend to all your company formation needs,
including non-standard provisions in memorandum and
articles, special share capital arrangements, public
limited companies, companies limited by guarantee and
all company law and company secretarial matters.
Public Limited Companies
A PLC must be registered with a name which
ends in the words 'public limited company' or the letters
'PLC' and must have a share capital of at least £50,000.
Some aspects of the Companies Acts apply a stricter
regime to such companies. We offer a standard service
but find that, in practice, most such companies involve
some special drafting or other service. Please contact
us for further details.
We can also convert private companies to PLCs and vice
versa.
Companies Limited By Guarantee
A company limited by guarantee does not have
a share capital but is controlled by its members. Apart
from rules affecting shares, the Companies Acts generally
apply to a company limited by guarantee as to any other
private company. The main uses for such companies are
for charities, voluntary bodies, clubs, societies, etc.
Please contact us for further details.
Property Management Companies
Where a property is divided into units (e.g.
a large house divided into several flats) a company
is often set up to own the freehold (or superior lease)
of the property and to maintain the common parts, effect
repairs, etc. Such a company may be limited by shares
or by guarantee and special memorandum and articles
are required. For more details, visit the property
management companies page of this website.
Other Company Law Matters
We can attend to all such matters as special
share capital requirements, changes of company names,
drafting special articles, printing memorandum and articles,
etc. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
We are here to help.
Foreign And Offshore Companies
We can secure the formation of a company in most jurisdictions,
including the commonly used offshore locations of Isle
of Man, Channel Islands, British Virgin Islands, Nevis,
Panama, Cayman Islands, etc. Please contact us for further
details.
