    Share classes

    In company with two directors I need to be able to pay different and variable amounts of dividend. Hardly practical to keep changing the share allocation.

    I understand I can either use dividend waivers, or better, issue different classes of shares. Is it really as simple as say giving myself a class 1 share and other director a class 2 share and then paying ourselves whatever we agree on or are there any restrictions or problems I need to know about?

    Ta for any answers.

    this has been raised recently on accountingweb - try a search on that. There are legal things that need to be done correctly.

    Companies house probably have a leaflet.

    (its the RED quirrels you really need to worry about)
