A company may have different reasons for wanting to purchase its own shares depending on whether there is an existing active market in its shares. There would be little or no active market in the shares of a very small private company such as one which is in substance an incorporated partnership, although there may be a limited market in the shares of a larger private company.The Companies Act 1985 allows a limited1 company to purchase its own shares. Any type of share can be purchased under this power. A company may also issue shares on terms which provide for later redemption by the company..
