of Association Private Limited Liability Company Registration
The Articles of
Association are an essential element of each private limited company
registration and constitute the rules and regulations by which the internal affairs
of the limited liability company are governed after incorporation. And in particular to the proposed
companies share capital, treatment and alterations to share capital, procedures
at general meetings, members voting rights, directors, their appointment and
powers and all other corporate matters.
A limited
liability company registration,
limited by shares which has adopted the whole of Table A without modification
does not need to deliver a copy to Companies House for registration. However, you must attach a
letter to the incorporation application stating that the limited liability company
registration is adopting the sample model Table A, articles of association.
Articles of
Association model Table A is a
model set of articles of association for a company limited by shares which can be adopted and
is provided as part of all standard limited company registration and formation packages.
Tables A
to F of the Companies (Tables A to F) Regulations 1985 (known Table A), the
standardised articles for companies
to adopt without amendments or as a basis for their own articles which apply to
both private and public companies incorporated after 1/10/2009 and those formed
under the Companies Act 2006. If you adopt
Table A without modification then you will need to appoint at least two
directors. However, a private company can have just one director, if that
proposed limited liability company's articles of association allow. So if your
limited liability company registration has only one director, you need to
adopt a modified version of the model Table A. If Articles of association, Table A is adopted with modifications,
you must deliver the articles of association with the limited liability company registration.
Unless
they choose to adopt it, the new Table A will not affect existing companies.
However, the Articles of
association can be changed at a later date by special resolution if required,
after the limited liability company registration.
All companies
that are limited by guarantee must register articles of association. These
should be in accordance with, or as near to as circumstances permit, Table
C.
Tables A
to F were changed in accordance with changes in company law. The changes are set
out in the
Companies (Tables A to
F) (Amendment) Regulations 2007
and the
Companies (Tables A to
F) (Amendment) (No2) Regulations 2007.
In April
2006 provision 54 of the Table C and provision 2 of the Table E were altered in
accordance with the Companies Act 2006. Proxies have now been given a special
mention as it was ambiguous as to whether it allowed the proxies acting on
behalf of members of a company limited by guarantee the new right to vote on a
show of hands prescribed by sections 284 and 324 of the Companies Act 2006.
Regulation 38 of Table E has been deleted as it sets a notice period of 7 days
for general meetings of unlimited companies which was in conflict with section
307 of the Companies Act 2006 which requires at least 14 days notice.
