Confirmation of share capital contributions
Last updated: 5 February 2024.
Upon registration of a new limited company and by an increase of the share capital that doesn't happen by bonus issue, you must attach a declaration from an auditor, a financial institution, an attorney or an accountant which confirms that the share capital has been received by the company.
A financial institution, an attorney or an accountant can only provide the confirmation if the share capital is issued in cash.
The confirmation must include:
- information on the contributed amount issued in cash, stating that it is in regards to share contribution
- the business name of the company the confirmation involves
- the date
- the signature of the person which issues the confirmation
- the name of the financial institution, the auditor, the attorney or the accountant providing the confirmation
It is not sufficient to enclose a receipt or a bank statement.
If the financial institution confirming the payment of the share capital belongs to a state within the EEA, you have to submit the entire notification by post. Here you can download the printable version of the form.
The confirmation must be signed electronically if the notification to the Register of Business Enterprises has been submitted electronically. Therefore, it is not necessary to date and sign it otherwise.
When you have uploaded the confirmation, you have to enter the organisation number of the auditor, the financial institution, the attorney or the accountant who drew up the confirmation. They will then receive a signing task in their inbox, which they have to enter and sign before the notification can be submitted.
If you want to read more about electronic signing, you can do that on the page “Coordinated register notification”. You will find it under “Useful links” on your right side.
