About this pack
This pack includes all the documents and forms required to increase the authorised capital of a private limited company. For more information on share capital, please refer to our free information page.
This pack is useful when a company has already issued all its share capital (authorised/nominal capital) and it wants to add new shareholders (or investors who insist on a stake in the company).
Who will use this pack?
- Any director of a private limited company wanting to increase share capital;
- Any shareholder of a private limited company wanting to increase share capital.
Why use this pack?
A company may increase its issued capital by allotting more shares but only up to the maximum allowed by its authorised capital. So if new shares are required, and the share capital is ‘used up’, this pack is essential.
There can be other reasons for the alteration of share capital such as consolidation, subdivision or reduction of share capital. This is explained in further detail in the pack.
It is critical that changes to a company’s heart are recorded officially, using the correct forms and documents. This pack includes all the forms and documents required to increase share capital and ensure you understand you know all you need to by providing explanatory notes, before you make the changes.
Of course it complies with the Company Act 2006.
