What Does “Issuing Shares” Mean?
Your company’s shareholding structure shows who owns your business — and how much they own. For example, if two shareholders each hold 50% of the shares, both are entitled to half of the company’s profits (after tax).
Issuing new shares changes that balance of ownership. It’s a flexible and strategic way to:
Recognise new investment – reflect new funding or capital contributions.
Reward directors or investors – issue shares in return for time, effort, or financial input.
Repay borrowings – convert debt into equity within the business.
Motivate and retain staff – offer shares to encourage long-term commitment and loyalty.
Whatever your reason, we’ll make sure the process is carried out correctly — in line with your company’s constitution and Companies House requirements.
How Our Issue of Shares Service Works
We manage every stage of the process, ensuring full compliance, accurate documentation, and a clear paper trail for your records.
-
Each incoming shareholder must agree in writing to take the new shares in line with your Articles of Association. We’ll prepare the application letters to formalise this step.
-
Existing shareholders must pass a special resolution to approve the share issue. We’ll draft this for you — precisely worded, fully compliant, and ready to sign.
-
We’ll prepare board meeting minutes to record directors’ approval of the new shares, ensuring transparency and proper governance.
-
Once the shares are issued, we’ll complete and file the Return of Allotment of Shares (Form SH01) with Companies House within 30 days — and ensure your confirmation statement reflects your updated share structure.
-
We’ll issue new share certificates and update your company’s share register, giving you complete, professionally formatted documentation.
