The Companies (Model Articles) Regulations 2008

The Companies (Model Articles) Regulations 2008 set out standard rules governing how companies in the UK operate. These "model articles" serve as a default set of guidelines for companies that choose not to create their own tailored rules. They cover various aspects such as decision-making processes, director responsibilities, and shareholder rights. Essentially, they help ensure consistent management and governance within companies, promoting transparency and efficiency. Businesses can adopt these articles or modify them according to their specific needs, providing flexibility while ensuring a foundational legal framework.
