Overview

Why the United Kingdom asks for a legalised shareholding agreement

A shareholders' agreement sets out the rights of investors and promoters. Authorities abroad, and foreign banks or joint venture partners, also ask for a certified shareholding pattern to see who owns the Indian company. Shareholders' agreements are executed by the company and its shareholders; the shareholding pattern or list is certified by a director or practising Company Secretary.

Opening a subsidiary or branch in Europe, or signing before a European notary, usually requires apostilled company documents and a certified translation.

Authorities, banks and business partners in the United Kingdom usually ask for a legalised shareholding agreement for foreign subsidiary or branch registration, beneficial ownership checks by banks or joint venture approvals.

A shareholding agreement issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. The United Kingdom accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
