Reconstruction and recreation of the share ledger

Get help reconstructing and recreating a compliant share ledger

Whether you have an incomplete share ledger in Excel or Word from previous records, or you need assistance recreating your share ledger from historical documentation, NVR can help you trace, structure and manage all relevant records and establish a compliant digital share register.

How we help you

We have helped thousands of customers reconstruct their lost or incomplete share ledger

Here’s how we help you reconstruct a lost share ledger in four simple steps:

1.

Data collection

Submit all existing documentation relating to your share ledger, including information about previous shareholders, transactions, share issues and other relevant documents such as voting lists, articles of association, subscription lists, board minutes, correspondence with shareholders and share certificates. We handle documentation in both Excel and Word formats. This is a critical step if your share ledger is missing, needs to be recreated, or contains errors.

2.

Data structuring

Our team processes and organises the data to ensure it is accurate, arranged in chronological order, and formatted correctly for upload. We also handle complex documentation and resolve issues related to a lost or inaccurate share ledger.

3.

Digitalisation in NVR's system

All share ledger events are uploaded into NVR, in strict compliance with applicable company law. This ensures a compliant reconstruction of your share ledger.

4.

All set! Your share ledger is set up and administration has been handed over

Once the process is complete, the platform automatically generates updated reports, including a current cap table, shareholder overview, and a detailed history of the share ledger and its present status. You can then manage and update your share ledger independently for any future events.

Going forward – Simple registration of share ledger events with access for shareholders and board members

With our solution, you can easily register future events such as options, stock splits and new share issues directly in the system. The platform automatically performs all calculations and updates, ensuring full traceability and version control, while shareholders and board members can view all changes in real time.

Did you know?

It is the board’s responsibility to ensure that a correct share ledger exists under the Companies Act.

A share ledger must be created as soon as all shareholders have signed the articles of incorporation.

Approximately 95% of all share ledgers in companies with more than three shareholders contain errors.

With NVR, you can update your share ledger in just a few minutes. If you are unsure at any stage, we are here to assist you.

Of course! Whether your current share ledger is in Excel, Word, or another system, we ensure that all data is transferred and structured correctly, fully in accordance with the Companies Act.

How do I get started with the share ledger and ownership management in NVR?

It’s simple – either import your existing share ledger or build it directly in the platform. We provide guides, automated tools, and a support team to assist you throughout the process. Many customers are up and running in less than 30 minutes.

Who is responsible for the share ledger?

It is the responsibility of the board to ensure that the share ledger is created, kept up to date, and made available. Under the Companies Act, failure to comply may result in fines or imprisonment, and board members may be held personally liable for damages if someone suffers financial loss due to an incorrect or missing share ledger.

Having a correct share ledger is therefore not only a legal obligation – it also protects both the company and its shareholders. In our experience, very few companies today can produce a fully correct share ledger without investing significant time and resources in the process.

Why should the share ledger be kept digitally?

All limited companies are legally required to maintain a share ledger, but in many companies it is difficult to locate, outdated, or filled with manual errors. This creates significant risk. If the share ledger is incorrect, the company risks making faulty decisions, encountering problems during capital raises, or in the worst case becoming involved in legal disputes.

Keeping the share ledger digital is about control, transparency, and security. It greatly increases the likelihood that the information is always accurate, up to date, and accessible. This can be critical during investments, company sales, inheritance situations, and due diligence processes. It also makes collaboration with shareholders, investors, and advisors easier.

By keeping your share ledger digital in NVR, you always know where you stand – and that you are complying with the law.
