Company Changes
Update your MOA, the right way.
The memorandum of association sets out who owns your company, how it is managed and what it does. When any of that changes, the MOA usually needs a formal amendment.
We review your current documents, coordinate the amended MOA and any resolutions, arrange signing and notarisation, and update your trade licence so everything matches.
