Establishing a Public Limited Company
Do you, as an entrepreneur, want to go public with a large company? Then setting up a public limited company is an interesting option. When a public limited company is established, shares are issued to the founder(s) or to others who contribute money or goods. The public limited company can only be established by notarial deed.
Just as with a private limited company, a public limited company is a company whose capital is divided into shares. The difference between the two legal forms is that in a private limited company the shares can only be transferred through the notary. In contrast to a public limited company where part of the shares, in addition to the registered shares, are freely tradable on the stock exchange. Meijer Notarissen is happy to assist you in recording the articles of association in the deed of incorporation.
Minimum capital
When a a public limited company is established, a minimum capital of 45.000 euros must be paid into the company. This amount may also be in kind. You can think of the input of an entire company or goods such as cars and computers.
