What is a cash capital increase?
A cash capital increase involves bringing new funds into your company. Investors contribute money and the share capital increases either by creating new shares/units, or by increasing the nominal value of existing securities.
Main formalities to complete:
- Increase decision (extraordinary general meeting or sole partner's decision)
- Opening of the dedicated account and deposit of funds by subscribers with certificate issuance (Qonto supports you with this step)
- Acknowledgment of completion by the management body
- Publication in a legal announcements journal (if mandatory according to the company form)
- Filing at the registry (M2 form, amended articles of association, minutes)
⚠️ This operation is different from other forms of capital increase, such as contributions in kind (goods, equipment) or incorporation of reserves, which are not handled by Qonto.
How to submit a capital increase request ?
Before making a request, verify that your operation meets Qonto's eligibility conditions.
To initiate your request:
- Log into the Qonto account of the company concerned by the operation
