MEMART is the abbreviation for the company incorporation document known as Memorandum and Articles of Association, which is the part of your incorporation documents that reflects the structures, governance, objectives, shareholding, rights and obligations of the company and its members.

A company’s MEMART can be amended from time to time to include or remove a particular objective(s) or terms. To do this, there must be a special resolution passed by the board of the company stating and accepting the changes to be reflected on the MEMART. A new MEMART would be drafted to include the part which was amended or added to it.
