Other types of funding, such as Start-Up Loans or Equity and Grant finance have a much longer approval process which can take several months. are the most common type of shares, and most companies use ordinary shares in British pounds (GBP). If you need more than one type of share, you’ll need to use a different service to register your company as Tide only offers applications using ordinary shares.

  • One vote per share on company decisions

  • Receive a share of profits as dividend payments
