Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

CAPITAL CREATION AND CROWDFUNDING CONFERENCE
Los Angeles, March 13, 2012!
2. Grow VC!
§ Is not a venture capital company, but connects
all parties in the global ecosystem, including
venture capital companies!
§ Global community & marketplace – “built to
scale”!
– Be global, act local!
– Global #1 platform for startup equity funding!
§ Grow VC platform is open for 3rd parties to set
up several market places, and other startup and
investor communities!
2 www.growvc.com
3. Grow VC has created an effective and transparent
online investing marketplace for global startup
ecosystem. – ”The Virtual Silicon Valley”!

6. Where are we today?!
§ Still in finance crisis where people have lost their trust
to financial institutions!
§ The stock market hasn’t offered really stable growth
for 10 years!
§ Many people losing their jobs, and other are frustrated
to sit in meetings and make PowerPoint slides!
§ Top percent is becoming richer, middle-class is
struggling!
§ Asia is taking over the global leadership in business
and finance!
6 3/8/12 www.growvc.com
7. HOME! STARTUPS! PEOPLE!
“You don’t have to be
Steve Jobs, to be
an entrepreneur”
8. Economy needs growth and
people need passion!
§ Our economy needs a boost!
1. Corporates don’t create enough new jobs!
2. New technology and business innovations drive growth!
3. Increasing global competition!
§ People need passion and meaningful work!
1. Many people are frustrated to their daily work!
2. Ordinary people could invest in startups their money and work
(‘sweat equity’) and also participate in something meaningful!
3. There is no one single model to work and invest anymore,
people and companies in different networks need models to
work, raise capital and invest!
9. Vision!
The next Silicon Valley is not a one location, it is a global
online platform and community of all locations !
10. Mission!
To have a market place and ecosystem to make company
funding more effective, transparent, and democratic
!
!
11. WE HAVE A DREAM:
more equal opportunities,
where entrepreneurs
and investors unite
to accelerate innovation
16. We have a problem!
1. The Funding market is inefficient!
- VC’s invest mainly in later phase companies!
- Business angel funding is often based only on personal or local networks!
- No liquid secondary market, and not enough IPO’s!
2. One model doesn’t fit all!
- Startups have very different risk and growth profiles, many of them are
not traditional VC cases!
3. Investing is not only about money!
- Companies need investors that can help with business around the world!
- Early phase companies also need core team members!
- For VC’s it is too expensive to allocate people for seed level companies!
16 www.growvc.com
17. Friends and families invest more
more than VC’s and angels!
1. Market efficiency!
– VC market includes $540 Million in transaction fees (~3 %)!
– Business Angels have limited investment deal flow!
– Households savings on the rise à where to place money?!
• US household savings almost $8,000 Billion p.a. (Feb 2011, Bureau of
Economic Analysis) !
!
2. Modern solutions bring efficiency!
– Kiva.org transactions over $200 Million in 5 years!
3. Market place!
– Large deal flow!
– Crowdsourcing for work and low transaction costs!
– Efficient due diligence (standard term sheets, including partners in process)!
– Efficiency enables agile funding !
18.
19. More democractic investment market!
§ Open startup investment opportunity for more people!
§ Ordinary people or wealthy ordinary people (depending on local
regulation) can make direct or micro investments!
§ Work investments (Sweat Equity)!
§ For example, in the US there are over 6 Million accredited
investors, but only !
- 500k to 700k of them have invested in startups (as an angel or friends&family)!
- 100k to 300k are active business angels!
- A few hundred angels in Silicon Valley!
§ It is not only about ROI, but to support new ideas, technologies,
change and economy!
