You can add any number of share classes when you first incorporate a company.

The only requirements are:

  • At least one share class must be irredeemable - generally considered to be 'Ordinary shares'.
  • There must be at least 1 subscriber for each class of share created.


How do I add another share class?


Note: Adding additional share classes is free for subscribed users to Inform Direct only. An additional fee is charged for PAYG users.


  • Give a Class description. This is a free text field.
  • Choose a Currency or leave as GBP.
  • Set the Nominal value per share. It defaults to £1.00 or $1.00 or €1.00 depending on the currency chosen.
  • Select the Type of share from the dropdown menu.
  • Add your own Prescribed particulars if the default selection is not appropriate.
