Limited Liability Company Frequently Asked Questions
What is a memorandum of association?
A memorandum of association document sets out
- the company's name,
- where the registered office of the company is situated (in England, Wales, Northern Ireland 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.
Other clauses to be included in the memorandum depend on the type of company being incorporated. The form of memorandum for each type of company is set out in a set of tables called The Companies (Tables A to F) Regulations, 1985. BusinessLegal prepare this document for you.
