Issue of Shares
Increase the number of shares within your company.
Increasing the number of shares in your company can be achieved in two ways:

- Create new share classes
Why issue new shares?
- Raise new finance
- Invite new shareholders without reducing the current shareholdings
- Change the ownership percentages
- Provide shares to new directors or employees
Why create new share classes?
-
Issue additional shares with varied voting rights and entitlement to dividends and capital on winding up
-
Attract new investors with enhanced rights above other shareholders

Frequently Asked Questions!
When can share classes be issued?
You can create new shares at any time, there are no restrictions on how often this can be done or how many shares can be created. As shares will need to be allotted once created, you should create these when needed.
What types of shares can be created?
Most companies use one class of shares, commonly Ordinary shares. Other available share classes include:
- Alphabet (i.e., A, B, C shares)
- Preference
How long does the issue of shares take?
Once our team has the full details of the shares that you want creating and to whom they should be allocated, this will be completed the same working day, or the next working day if received outside of working hours.
What details are required?
- Name of new shareholders
- Number of shares for the new shareholders
- Amount paid for the new issued shares
Are allotment and issue the same?
Issue of shares and allotment of shares may sound the same, but they differ slightly. Issue of shares is the process of creating new shares within the company whereas allotment of shares relates to these issued shares being allocated to a shareholder.
