Share dealings (issue or allotment) - completing corporate arrangements
At Mounteney Solicitors, we assist with the legal formalities required when a private company issues or allots shares. We advise on the correct process, prepare the necessary documentation, and handle the filings and internal company updates to ensure everything is properly completed.
Companies may need to issue new shares or register share transfers in a wide range of situations. This includes business sales, property transactions involving management companies, or the creation of business or tax structures. In all cases, there are specific statutory steps that must be followed to keep the transaction legally valid and compliant.
We will review the circumstances, advise on the requirements, and prepare the relevant board and shareholder resolutions, company minutes and other documentation. We also take care of the Companies House filings and make any required updates to internal company registers. Where needed, we will produce and issue updated share certificates.
There are various legal and procedural traps in this area, including the correct handling of Stamp Duty and the risk of filings being rejected or missed. We help directors and company advisers manage these requirements efficiently, with clear guidance and reliable legal drafting throughout.

Money Matters
The need for a company to issue new shares or to register the transfer of existing shares arises in lots of common situations, including when businesses are bought-and-sold, when some property transactions occur (these may involve management companies), and in establishing some business or taxation structures. There are relatively complicated rules and processes to follow, including the possibility of Stamp Duty having to be administered, and filings made at Companies House.
Transfer or Issue Company Shares (£350)
We will ascertain the scenario, advise, then engage in drafting the necessary board and member’s resolutions and minutes, advise on implementing those, then making the necessary filings with Companies House and acting on internal implementation such as revision of the corporate registers and the issue of share certificates.
