Expand your company's funding capacity with seamless ROC compliance.
Increase in Authorised Capital, one of the most common corporate actions companies take when they need to raise more funds, issue new shares, or expand operations.
Why It Matters
The authorised share capital is the maximum value of shares that a company can legally issue, as defined in its MOA (Memorandum of Association).
When a company plans to:
- Raise fresh equity from investors
- Issue bonus shares or ESOPs
- Convert loans into equity
- Infuse capital for expansion
…it must first increase its authorised share capital by passing a resolution and filing with the Registrar of Companies (ROC).
Without this step, the company cannot issue shares beyond the existing authorised limit, which may stall growth and fundraising plans.
