Referring to Article 27 of the new Company Law, there are the following ways for shareholders of a limited liability company to contribute capital:
First, money. It takes a certain amount of liquidity to set up a company. Pay for the establishment and operation of the company. Therefore, shareholders can contribute in cash.
Second, in kind. Physical investment is generally based on machinery and equipment, raw materials, spare parts, goods, buildings and workshops.
Third, intellectual property rights. The so-called intellectual property rights refer to people's civil rights to the fruits of their intellectual labor. Traditional intellectual property rights include trademark right, patent right and copyright.
Fourth, land use rights. There are two ways for companies to obtain land use rights. One way is that shareholders invest in the company after pricing the land use right, so that the company can obtain the land use right; The other is that the company applies to the local county-level land management department and obtains the land use right by subscription contract after approval, and the company pays the site use fee according to the regulations. The former is the way of capital contribution by shareholders, but the relevant procedures must be fulfilled according to law.
Fifth, the revised company law allows the establishment of a one-person limited liability company.
The minimum registered capital of a one-person limited liability company is RMB 654.38+10,000, which is higher than that of an ordinary limited liability company. Shareholders shall pay the capital contribution stipulated in the articles of association in one lump sum, and shall not pay it by installments. A natural person can only invest in a limited liability company. A one-person limited liability company cannot invest in the establishment of a new one-person limited liability company. A one-person limited liability company shall indicate the sole proprietorship of a natural person or a legal person in the company registration, and indicate it in the company business license.
A one-person limited liability company does not have a shareholders' meeting. When a shareholder makes a decision that should be made by the shareholders' meeting, it shall be made in the form of a written reply, signed by the shareholder and kept in the company. A one-person limited liability company shall make financial and accounting reports at the end of each fiscal year, which shall be audited by an accounting firm. If the shareholders of a one-person limited liability company cannot prove that the company's property is independent of the shareholders' own property, they shall be jointly and severally liable for the company's debts. Generally speaking, only one person is needed to set up a limited liability company. However, if a joint stock limited company is needed, it can only be established by more than two shareholders. If you can't find a suitable shareholder, but you have enough start-up funds, you can set up an individual limited liability company. An individual limited liability company does not need other shareholders.
