Setting up a company
A company is formed by registering with the Companies Registration Office. That involves choosing a company type, preparing a constitution, and filing the required details of directors, secretary, and share structure. Fixed fee packages are available for standard incorporations and contract reviews.
Once appointed, directors take on legal duties under the Companies Act: to act in good faith, in the company’s interests, and within their powers. Setting up a limited company: the legal basics covers this in more detail.
Where a company has more than one shareholder, a shareholders’ agreement sets out how decisions are made, what happens if someone wants to leave, and how disputes are handled. Put it in place at the start, before disagreements ever arise.
