Last updated: August 2026 · Reviewed by the Ravel Corporate Advisors team
As your company evolves, its charter documents may need to change — new objects, altered capital, or updated articles. We handle the resolutions and ROC filings to amend your MOA and AOA correctly.
Key takeaways
- Amend the Memorandum (MOA) or Articles (AOA) of your company.
- Requires a special resolution passed by the shareholders.
- Filed with the ROC in Form MGT-14 within 30 days.
- Some changes (name, capital, objects) need additional approvals.
