Overview
What is an object clause change?
Your company's object clause, set out in the Memorandum of Association, defines the business activities it's legally permitted to carry out. An object clause change amends this clause — adding, removing or modifying permitted activities — through shareholder approval and an ROC filing.

When do you need an object clause change?
