Frequent questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I increase capital with only an accountant's signature?
No. A capital increase requires a shareholders' meeting agreement, and to be binding on third parties it must be protocolized and registered with the Public Commerce Registry.
Does a capital reduction affect creditors?
It may. The law provides deadlines and guarantees to protect them; we advise you on executing the reduction without contingencies.
How long does the process take?
Typically three to seven business days once financial information is gathered and the shareholders' meeting is held.
Need to move your company's capital?
Increase or reduce capital with a clean procedure and up-to-date filings.
