Why Amend MOA & AOA?

The Memorandum of Association (MOA) defines a company’s outer limits—name, objects, capital, liability. The Articles of Association (AOA) regulate the internal playbook—board powers, shareholder rights, dividend rules, etc. As businesses pivot—enter new markets, raise capital, merge, or re‑brand—these charters must evolve or risk regulatory breaches and investor push‑back.
