The Legal Risk Score of a Application for Shares Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • The application for shares is unconditional, meaning once the applicant submits the application and payment, they are fully committed without any provisions for changes or withdrawal.
  • By completing the application, the applicant agrees to be bound by the constitution of the company, which could include terms and conditions that may not be fully disclosed or understood at the time of signing.
  • The document entrusts the company with the responsibility to register the applicant as the holder of the shares and issue share certificates, processes that rely on the company's timely and accurate administration.
