Setting up a limited company with customised Articles of Association means your SPV gets governance that truly matches your needs, instead of relying on a standard template for a one-person consultancy. We create or update your Articles to fit your share structure, investor agreements, and lender requirements right from the start.
Our service helps you draft, amend or change Articles of Association to align with your business objectives and regulatory compliance.
Lack of investor protection
Model Articles do not include pre-emption rights, share transfer restrictions, or rules for multiple share classes. This setup works for a business with just one director, but it does not suit a property SPV with several investors.
No lender provisions
Mortgage lenders usually want to see consent clauses and share transfer restrictions before lending to an SPV. Model Articles do not include these requirements.
Governance gaps that surface at the worst moment
If there is a deadlock between 50/50 shareholders, a director leaves during a deal, or there is a dispute over dividend priority, When these issues come up, you need 75% shareholder approval just to make changes.
Defined rights for every share class
Ordinary, preference, and alphabet shares each have their own voting rights, dividend entitlements, and transfer rules, all clearly set out in the documents from the start.
Pre-emption rights and transfer controls
Current shareholders have the first chance to buy shares before they are offered to someone outside the company. Only approved buyers can receive shares, which helps keep ownership as agreed.
Governance built for property deals
Rules for voting on major decisions, obtaining lender approval, setting limits on director authority, and handling deadlocks are put in place before they are needed.
Disclaimer: Amending Articles requires shareholder approval and a Companies House filing.
We draft, update, amend, and change your Articles to match your SPV’s structure. Every set we produce is specific to your share arrangements, ownership split, and investment objectives. We are dedicated to set up your Limited Company using customised article of association
We add the consent clauses and share restrictions that lenders usually ask for before they approve SPV mortgage applications.
Pre-emption rights, drag-along and tag-along provisions, and good or bad leaver rules are included from the beginning, not added as an afterthought.
Alphabet shares, preference shares, ordinary shares — we define the voting rights, dividend rights, and transfer rules for each class.
Board authority limits, reserved matters requiring shareholder approval, and quorum rules that prevent deadlock.
Two or more investors in one SPV need Articles that define who controls what, how profits split, and what happens if one party wants to exit.
Where external capital is involved, investors expect pre-emption rights, information rights, and protections against dilution and none of which appear in Model Articles.
If your existing Articles no longer match your share structure, or a lender has flagged a gap in your governance, we amend what you have and file the updated version at Companies House.
