1. Shareholders of a limited liability company have six modes of capital contribution, namely:
(1) currency. The establishment of the company will inevitably require a certain amount of liquidity;
(2) physical objects. Physical investment is generally based on machinery and equipment, raw materials, spare parts, goods, buildings and factories;
(3) Intellectual property rights. Traditional intellectual property rights include trademark right, patent right and copyright;
(4) Land use right. There are two ways for the company to obtain the land use right: first, shareholders invest in the company after pricing the land use right, so that the company can obtain the land use right; Second, the company applied to the local county-level land management department, and obtained the land use right by subscription contract after approval, and the company paid 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;
(5) Labor service and credit contribution;
(6) Non-monetary property contribution.
