Amending a bv’s articles of association

When a limited company is formed, articles of association are drawn up. These state the name of the company and its main principles: the activities it is allowed to engage in, how important decisions are made and who is entitled to profits.

Need to amend a bv’s articles of association?
The articles of association form part of a bv’s deed of incorporation and sometimes there may be compelling reasons for amending them. Developments within the company such as changes to the board or in the ratio of shares held by shareholders are examples.
