Memorandum of Association

The Memorandum of Association is one of a number of documents required to incorporate a UK company, as described in Company Formation.

This document sets out the company's name, where the registered office of the company is situated (in England, Wales or Scotland) and what it will do (its objects). The object of a company may simply be to carry on business as a general commercial company or support community activities in a club or association.

We offer Memorandum of Association documents suitable for use when forming a company limited by shares (typically small businesses) or a company limited by guarantee (typically clubs or associations). In both cases the company's Memorandum of Association must be signed by each subscriber or member in front of an independent witness.
