Who should consider a capital increase
A capital increase suits companies that are growing and want a stronger capital base, and companies admitting a new shareholder whose contribution is to be reflected in the share capital. It is equally an option for existing shareholders who prefer to reinvest profits in the company rather than distribute them as a dividend. We take the resolution, the contributions and the registration filing as one piece of work, so that the amended shareholding structure and the register entry match what the shareholders actually agreed.
When contributions are made in kind
Where a contribution is not cash but a machine, a licence, a vehicle or another asset, the procedure can become more demanding. An expert assessment is sometimes required, and the value of the contribution has to be documented. We review each scenario before the procedure starts, so that difficulties do not surface at the registration stage or later before the tax authorities.
