Share reorganisations & Companies House
Changing a company's share structure, and making sure every step is properly authorised and correctly recorded so the changes actually hold.
What we do
We handle the structural change and the paperwork behind it: the board and shareholder resolutions, the supporting documents, and the Companies House filings that put the change on the public record correctly. Where there are tax implications, we work alongside your accountant or tax adviser so the legal and tax positions line up.
- New share classes and alphabet share structures for dividend flexibility
- Subdivisions, consolidations, bonus issues and rights issues
- Allotments, transfers and buy backs of shares
- Reductions of capital and tidying up a complicated cap table
- The resolutions, statements of capital and Companies House filings that make each step valid
Where it helps
Some of the situations we are most often asked about:
- Bringing investment into the business
- Rewarding or incentivising key people with shares
- Separating dividend rights between owners
- Cleaning up a share structure that has grown messy over time
- Preparing the company for a sale, restructure or new investor
Make the change stick
The value is in getting the detail and the filings right so the change stands up to scrutiny later, when it matters most. Tell us what you are trying to do and we will map out the cleanest route.
