Frequently asked questions
It is the increase of a company's share capital through new contributions from existing shareholders or third parties, capitalisation of reserves or conversion of debt. It requires a general meeting resolution, a public deed before a notary and registration at the Commercial Registry.
The deed of incorporation and current articles of association, the certificate of the general meeting resolution, the bank certificate for cash contributions (or a valuation report for non-cash ones) and identification of the subscribers.
Between 3 and 5 weeks on average: preparing the documentation (2-3 days), holding the meeting (1-2 weeks depending on the notice period), signing the deed (1 day) and registration at the Commercial Registry (5-10 working days).
Yes. Since Law 11/2023, the deed can be signed by videoconference with the notary through the Portal Notarial del Ciudadano, and we handle the electronic filing with the Commercial Registry.
Only in specific cases: non-cash contributions in public limited companies (S.A.), increases charged to reserves (verified balance sheet) or by set-off of credits in an S.A. A limited company (S.L.) with cash contributions does not need one.
Yes. In fact it is a common way to rebalance net equity and avoid grounds for dissolution. It can also be combined with a simultaneous reduction (an "accordion operation").
In an S.L., a reinforced legal majority: more than half of the votes attached to the shares into which the capital is divided. In an S.A., a reinforced quorum and an absolute majority (or two thirds if the quorum is below 50%). The articles of association may raise these majorities.
Yes, in increases issuing new shares against cash contributions, each shareholder may take up a number proportional to their holding. The meeting may waive this right subject to legal requirements.
It depends on the amount: the notary and Commercial Registry fees follow official progressive scales. Use the calculator on this page to get your indicative quote instantly, with a full breakdown.
Yes. A share premium (a surcharge over the nominal value) is common when bringing in new investors so as not to dilute existing shareholders. It must be paid in full at the time of subscription.
Yes, this is a non-cash contribution. It requires a detailed description of the asset, a valuation, and a report from the management body; for public limited companies (S.A.), an independent expert's report is also required. The asset becomes company property, which has tax implications that should be reviewed beforehand.
It's the right of existing shareholders to subscribe to the capital increase in proportion to their current stake, so as not to be diluted. It can be waived or excluded, but this must be done formally — it's one of the most common grounds for challenging a resolution.
Yes, this is a capital increase through debt-for-equity swap. It requires that the debt be liquid, due, and largely enforceable, along with a report from the director and, for public limited companies (S.A.), an auditor's certification.
At the general meeting, it depends on the bylaws and the type of resolution. At the notary's office, no: the deed is executed by the director or an authorized representative in implementation of the resolution.
Against third parties, upon registration with the Commercial Registry. If you need to prove the new capital figure to a bank or for a tender, plan for that timeframe.
