Memorandum of Association

The Memorandum of Association is a foundational legal document required to incorporate a company. It outlines the essential details of the company’s structure, purpose, and governance, serving as a public record of its formation. Together with the Articles of Association, it forms the company’s constitutional framework.

In Gibraltar, the Memorandum of Association typically includes the following key details:

The company’s name and registered office address.

The company’s objectives, specifying the type of business it intends to conduct.

Details of the company’s share capital, including the number and value of shares.

The names and details of the initial subscribers (shareholders) who agree to take up shares in the company.

The document is submitted to the Gibraltar Companies House during the incorporation process and becomes publicly accessible. It plays a vital role in ensuring transparency and compliance with legal requirements.

The Memorandum of Association is critical for businesses seeking to establish themselves in Gibraltar, as it defines the company’s legal identity and provides clarity on its operations. Professional assistance ensures that the document meets all regulatory standards and accurately reflects the company’s intentions.
