MOA Amendment
MOA Amendment services managed seamlessly by our expert team.
If your company's business objects change, the Memorandum of Association must be amended. This needs shareholder approval and ROC filings. CASYST prepares the resolutions, forms and updated memorandum.
What is MOA Amendment?
The Memorandum of Association sets out the company's name, registered office, objects and capital. Any alteration, especially of the objects clause, must follow the procedure in the Companies Act, usually requiring a special resolution and filings with the Registrar.
Some alterations, such as changing the state of the registered office or the name, need additional approvals.
