Check your articles

Open your articles of association and find the capital contribution clause. If the final payment date is after 30 June 2032, or more than five years after 1 July 2027, you need to act.

Three options

  1. Amend the schedule and pay in on time
  2. Reduce registered capital to a realistic figure
  3. Restructure the group

Start early

A capital reduction includes a creditor notice period, and SAMR reviews filings carefully. Leaving it to 2027 risks a queue. Book a capital review and we will tell you which option fits.
