Articles of Association: How They Are Drafted
The articles set the company's internal rules and are required for commercial registration, banking and any future amendment.
Complete articles identify the firm name, registered office, business purpose, share capital and its allocation between shareholders, as well as how the company is bound.
The most overlooked clauses — and those that prevent most disputes — cover share transfers, qualified-majority resolutions, profit distribution and deadlock resolution.
We draft articles tailored to your business, review them with the shareholders, handle certification and file for registration and publication.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a public deed?
It depends on the legal form and contributions in kind; in many cases a private document with certified signatures is enough.
What is the minimum share capital?
It varies by legal form; a private limited company allows a low capital, while an S.A. requires a substantially higher amount.
Can the articles be amended later?
Yes, by shareholder resolution, registration of the amendment and publication — a service we also handle.
