Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions, or the banks involved, require each shareholder to pay its contribution from an account in its own name; others regulate only the account that receives the capital and the confirmation that proves the payment; and some have no capital verification at all. Check the rules that apply to the company before paying in any capital.
The company's registered capital belongs to the company, not to its shareholders, so the shareholders cannot simply withdraw it after incorporation. The company may spend it on its business. Returning capital to the shareholders requires a procedure the applicable company law provides, such as a formal capital reduction, and profits can be paid out to them only as a lawful distribution.
