Articles of Association

The Articles of Association Template is:

Compliant with the Companies Act 2006 | Designed for Private Companies Limited by Shares

If you’re forming a private limited company in England, Wales, or Scotland, one of the key legal documents you’ll need is the Articles of Association. This template provides a clear, customisable structure that outlines how your company will be governed and how key decisions will be made.

Our Articles of Association template is ideal whether you’re incorporating a brand-new company or updating existing governing documents to reflect changes in structure, directorship, or operations. Fully aligned with the latest provisions of the Companies Act 2006, this template gives you a reliable foundation that can be tailored to suit the specific needs of your company.

Every UK company limited by shares must submit Articles of Association when registering with Companies House. Any subsequent amendments – such as changing director powers or share transfer rules – also require submission. With this downloadable and reusable template, you can confidently draft your initial articles or update them later with ease.

Key sections included for customisation:

Preliminary matters and interpretation

Share capital and variation of rights

Transfer and transmission of shares

Directors: appointment, powers, and proceedings

General meetings, voting rights, and decision-making

Indemnity and limitation of liability

This document is designed for ease of use by entrepreneurs, directors, and company secretaries. Clear drafting and practical structure ensure that even those without legal training can adapt and complete it. If you’re making amendments to your company’s articles, consider pairing this template with our Written Resolution and Special Resolution templates to ensure compliance throughout the process.

Whether you’re forming your first company or restructuring an existing one, this Articles of Association template is a cost-effective, legally sound starting point.
