| Innhold: | Resume:
Finland abolished the minimum share capital requirement of EUR 2.500 for private limited liability companies (LLCs) on July 1, 2019 as part of the government's deregulation goals. Depending on the interpretation, at least 10 other European Union (EU) Member States have abolished the minimum share capital requirement for private LLCs or equivalent company forms, reducing the requirement to EUR 1 or its equivalent in the 21st century. Moreover, some European countries do not require a share capital upon registration but maintain an official share capital requirement. Sweden, Norway and Denmark have recently reduced their requirements of minimum share capital. Estonia has decided to abolish minimum share capital as of February 1, 2023. Altogether, the trend has been towards abandoning strict requirements concerning the minimum share capital for private LLCs. |
