Share Capital

What is Share Capital?

The total value of shares a company can issue to shareholders, as authorised in the MOI.

Think of it like this…

The pool of shares the company is allowed to create and sell or allocate.

Why does it matter?

  • Sets limits for issuing new shares
  • Affects ownership percentages and control
  • Important for fundraising and valuation

Best practice

Align authorised share capital with your fundraising plans to avoid frequent amendments.
