Capital in the company law usually refers to the registered capital of the company, that is, the total amount of capital subscribed by shareholders as determined in the company's articles of association, also known as share capital. Its characteristics are: first, the shareholders' investment in the company. Second, it is the permanent investment of shareholders in the company. The company's liabilities must be repaid when due, and once the shareholders invest in the company to form the company's capital, as long as the company is in a state of existence, they cannot return the share capital. Third, it is the property guarantee for the company as a legal person to bear civil liability. If the company is insolvent, the liability for repayment borne by shareholders shall not be greater than the company's capital. Therefore, the company's capital plays a vital role in the credibility of the company's foreign exchanges.
Second, analysis
China's former Company Law adopted a statutory capital system for company capital, that is, when a company is established, the total capital of the company must be clearly stipulated in the articles of association, and it must be issued in one lump sum, subscribed in full or raised in full, otherwise the company may not be established. The registered capital system of China's current company law has changed from paid-in system to subscription system. The registered capital of a company is equal to the total capital subscribed by all shareholders when the company is established, but the paid-in capital may be less than the registered capital when the company is established.
