Hi! Here’s a quick guide to help you draft the **MOA (Memorandum of Association)** and **AOA (Articles of Association)** for a company engaged in:
* Infrastructure development * Currency and securities trading * Import and export business
---
### 1. **Objects Clause in MOA**
You’ll need to clearly specify the **main objects** of the company in the MOA under **Clause III (Objects Clause)**.
Here’s a sample for each business area:
**Main Objects:**
a) To carry on the business of infrastructure development, including but not limited to construction, development, maintenance, and operation of roads, bridges, buildings, power plants, and other infrastructure projects.
b) To carry on the business of trading in currency, foreign exchange, securities, shares, stocks, bonds, derivatives, and other financial instruments.
c) To carry on the business of import, export, buying, selling, and dealing in all kinds of goods, commodities, products, machinery, and materials.

### 2. **AOA**
Articles of Association generally cover the rules for managing the company internally, such as:
* Share capital and variation of rights * Transfer of shares * Meetings and proceedings * Appointment and powers of directors * Dividends and accounts
Since your business covers financial trading and infrastructure, make sure you include standard provisions on:
* Board powers to invest or trade in securities * Restrictions or approvals required for certain transactions (if any) * Audit and compliance related to import-export

### 3. **Resources**
* For Infrastructure MOA, you can refer to the [link you mentioned](http://www.ourprofessionalteam.com/index.php?option=com_oscontent&view=article&id=2905&catid=359&Itemid=63) for a detailed template.
* For Currency Trading and Import-Export, usually you customize the **Objects Clause** as above and use a **standard AOA template** for a Private/Public Limited company.
---
### 4. **Additional Tips**
* Make sure the Objects clause is specific enough to cover your intended business activities but broad enough for future growth.
* Check if your business requires any regulatory approvals (e.g., RBI approval for currency trading).
