Memorandum & Articles of Association

Expert drafting and amendment of Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) — tailored to your business objects, governance structure, and shareholder rights.

What is Memorandum & Articles of Association?

The Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) are the constitutional documents of a company. The MOA defines the company's objects, powers, and the scope of its activities. The AOA governs the internal management, rights of shareholders, powers of directors, and procedures for meetings and resolutions.

AccentTax Consulting drafts MOA and AOA that are not just legally compliant but strategically crafted — ensuring your objects clause is broad enough to cover future business activities, your AOA protects founder rights, and your governance structure supports your growth plans. We also handle amendments to existing MOA/AOA through the special resolution and MCA filing process.
