Introduction of corporate rights to the authorized capital

Adding corporate rights to the company’s authorized capital is an important tool of financial management, which allows you to strengthen the economic stability of the company, attract new investors, and optimize the ownership structure.

In this article, we will consider the prerequisites, legal requirements, and the process of entering corporate rights into the authorized capital.

Prerequisites for introducing corporate rights

1. Financial necessity

The company may feel the need for additional financing to expand its activities, launch new projects, or stabilize its financial situation. Filing corporate rights is one way to raise capital without having to take out loans.

2. Strategic Partnership

The introduction of corporate rights can be the result of a strategic partnership, where new investors receive a stake in the enterprise in exchange for their assets or corporate rights.

3. Optimization of the ownership structure

This process can be part of an overall strategy to optimize the company’s ownership structure, which allows for greater transparency and management efficiency.

Legal Requirements

The procedure for entering corporate rights into the authorized capital is clearly regulated by the legislation of Ukraine.

In particular, the main legal acts regulating this process are:

• The Civil Code of Ukraine. Defines the general principles of ownership and corporate rights.
• Law of Ukraine “On Business Societies”. Contains provisions on the procedure for the creation, operation, and termination of business associations, including the issue of the formation of authorized capital.
• Tax Code of Ukraine. Determines the tax consequences for enterprises and their participants when introducing corporate rights to the authorized capital.

The process of introducing corporate rights

1. Making a decision

The first step is to decide to add corporate rights to the authorized capital. This decision is made by a general meeting of shareholders or a meeting of the board of directors and is recorded in the minutes.

2. Assessment of contribution

The next stage is the assessment of the value of corporate rights to be entered. This assessment must be carried out by an independent assessor and confirmed by an appropriate auditor’s report.

3. Paperwork

After the assessment, all the necessary documents must be drawn up, including acts of acceptance and transfer of corporate rights, changes to the founding documents, and other supporting documents.

4. State registration

At the final stage, changes to the authorized capital are registered with the relevant state bodies. This is done through the state registrar/notary public, who makes changes to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs and issues an up-to-date Statement of Amendments to the Register.

Adding corporate rights to the authorized capital is a complex but important process that requires compliance with certain conditions and legal requirements.
