Share Capital

Share capital is part of the restricted equity in a limited company. Share capital is the nominal value (par value) of all the issued shares in the company.

The nominal value (par value) is determined when shares are issued in the company. The share capital may increase but never decrease below the required share capital under the law.

Share capital will increase by a issue of new shares or a bonus issue. A private limited company in Sweden must have a share capital of at least 50 000 SEK and a public limited company in Sweden must have a share capital of 500 000 SEK.
