What are Articles of Association?
The company Articles of Association is a document which is usually created along with a Memorandum of Association. The Articles are basically the rules of a company, and it defines the responsibilities of the Directors, provides details of what business the company is involved in and provides information about the Shareholders responsibilities. The officers within the company must ensure that they are following the rules that have been set out in the Articles.
Most people choose to use the Model Articles of Association that are usually suitable for most types of companies and company structures. However, some people have special requirements which must be set out in the Articles, therefore they would either apply to change the Articles before submitting their new company or they would change the Articles once the company has been incorporated.
