What is it
What is corporate document drafting?
Many company decisions must be recorded in a particular form to be valid, such as approving a dividend, issuing shares or changing directors. We prepare these documents so that each decision is properly authorised, recorded and, where needed, filed with Companies House.
Documents we commonly prepare
- Board minutes and written resolutions
- Dividend vouchers and minutes approving dividends
- Share allotments, transfers and share certificates
- Companies House forms for changes of officers, shares and addresses
For complex commercial agreements, we work alongside your solicitors.

A return of allotment (form SH01) must be filed with Companies House within one month of the shares being allotted.
