Authorised Capital Increase — Expanded. Approved. Filed.
Increase of a company's authorised share capital to accommodate further issuance of shares, including board and shareholder approval, MOA amendment and filing with the Registrar of Companies.
Book Free ConsultationA company can only issue shares up to the limit of its authorised share capital as stated in the Memorandum of Association. Before a fresh issue, rights issue or conversion that would exceed this limit, the authorised capital needs to be increased.
At N D Savla & Associates, we prepare the board and shareholder resolutions, amend the capital clause of the MOA, and file the increase with the Registrar of Companies along with the applicable fee.
Where the increase is being carried out ahead of a fundraise or share issue, we sequence the filing so the increased capital is in place before the issuance is finalised.
