Application for shares

Before shares are allotted, the incoming shareholder applies for them in writing. Generate that application, free.

When you need this document

The application for shares is the incoming shareholder's side of an allotment: what they want, at what price, and their undertaking to pay. It is short, it is easily overlooked, and its absence is exactly the sort of gap a buyer's lawyer finds years later.

The application (or subscription) letter is the incoming shareholder’s side of an allotment: they apply for a stated number of shares at a stated price, agree to be bound by the articles, and ask to be entered in the register of members. It pairs with the allotment pack — members’ authority, board resolution and the NSC1 filing.
