Why is Capital Increase Needed?
A capital increase is typically necessary when a company’s financial obligations grow. Companies with a higher share capital are often viewed as more trustworthy by investors and partners because the increased capital signals the company’s ability to meet financial requirements.
The share capital partially reflects the companyโs financial stability and capacity to fulfill its obligations. By increasing the share capital, shareholders can directly contribute additional funds to the company, helping it meet its financial goals, support growth, or address any financial challenges.
How is Capital Increased?
Capital can be increased in two primary ways:
- From the Companyโs Funds. Increase the Nominal Value of Shares: In this method, the number of shares and their distribution among shareholders remain the same, but the value of each share increases proportionally. This approach allows for an increase in capital without changing the shareholding structure.
- By Shareholders Contributing Their Own Funds. Issuing New Shares: The company can issue new shares, which increases the total number of shares without altering the value of the existing ones. Shareholders will then acquire additional shares according to their current ownership proportion.
Once the decision to increase capital is made at the shareholders’ meeting, the company must report this intention to the Legal Entities Register within 10 working days. This can be done either at the Registry Centre service centre or through the Registry Centre self-service system.
Is It Possible to Decrease Capital?
Yes, it is possible to decrease capital, and similar procedures are used as those for increasing it. Capital reduction can be achieved through two primary methods:
- Decreasing the Nominal Value of Shares: The company can lower the nominal value of its shares, which reduces the overall capital without altering the number of shares or their distribution.
- Reducing the Number of Shares: Alternatively, the company can reduce the number of shares in circulation. This will decrease the capital while maintaining the value of the remaining shares.
Both methods involve legal procedures that must be followed to ensure compliance with regulations and protect the interests of all stakeholders.
Changing the Authorized Capital
Changing the authorized capital is a relatively straightforward process that can be completed quickly and with minimal effort. However, determining the correct capital amount and preparing a sound financial strategy that will benefit the company in any situation can be more challenging.
If youโre considering changing your companyโs capital size but are unsure about whether your decision is the right one, consulting with financial experts is a wise choice. Experienced professionals can provide valuable insights, advise you on the best course of action, and support their recommendations with real-world examples to ensure your capital adjustment aligns with your business goals.
