Common questions

Why would I need to amend my MOA?

Most commonly to add a new business activity that wasn't covered in your original objectives clause, before you can legally start that line of business.

What's the difference between amending the MOA and the AOA?

The MOA covers your company's objectives and scope; the AOA covers internal governance — meetings, director powers, share transfer rules and similar.

Is shareholder approval always required?

Yes, both MOA and AOA amendments require a special resolution passed by shareholders holding at least 75% of voting rights.
