Authorized capital is the maximum amount of share capital that a company is legally permitted to issue to its shareholders. If your business is expanding and you need more funds or if you plan to issue more shares, increasing your authorized capital is the next step. WeIncept offers end-to-end support in the process of increasing your authorized share capital, ensuring compliance with the Companies Act, 2013.
What Is Authorized Capital?
Authorized capital is the total value of shares that a company can issue. It is specified in the Memorandum of Association (MOA) during company registration. Over time, if a company requires more capital to meet its growing needs, it can increase its authorized share capital by following a legal process. This allows the company to raise more funds by issuing additional shares to investors, partners, or the public.
