Raise your company's authorized capital limit so you can issue new shares to investors, employees or existing shareholders.

Why this matters

Unlocks new share issuance. You can't issue shares beyond your current authorized capital without this step.

Needed before most funding rounds. Investors typically require headroom in authorized capital before investing.

MOA updated correctly. Your Memorandum of Association is amended to reflect the new limit.

Who this applies to

  • Private limited companies wanting to issue more shares than currently authorized
  • Requires special resolution passed by shareholders
  • Applicable ahead of funding rounds, ESOP pools, or bonus issues

What you'll need to get started

  • Board resolution proposing the increase
  • Special resolution passed at a general meeting
  • Altered Memorandum of Association
  • Digital Signature Certificate of a director

Common questions

Do I need shareholder approval for this?

What's the difference between authorized and paid-up capital?

Authorized capital is the maximum limit up to which a company can issue shares; paid-up capital is what has actually been issued and paid for so far.
