We are issuing shares to an investor or employee - Aberystwyth

Issuing shares affects control, dividends and future exits. The paperwork must line up with the articles, any shareholders' agreement and Companies House filings.

• Checking authority to allot and disapplying pre-emption rights
• Preparing board and shareholder resolutions
• Filing returns of allotment and updating registers

Can we create a new share class?

Yes, subject to the articles and shareholder approval; different classes can carry distinct voting, dividend and capital rights.

What about employee shares?

Tax-advantaged schemes such as EMI need care with valuations and eligibility, and are usually run with an accountant alongside your solicitor.
