What does Shares Paid/Unpaid mean?

What does listing company shares as Paid or Unpaid mean and the impact on your company registration

Updated over a year ago

When you initiate the process of creating your company, you'll encounter the term "Shares Paid/Unpaid."

This aspect pertains to your commitment to fully pay the total share capital of your company when opening its bank account. Generally, having PAID shares is a prerequisite for most financial institutions.

It is advisable to select paid 'yes' as your option unless you've received specific Legal or Accounting advice suggesting otherwise. This decision can influence various aspects of your business operations and financial setup, so it's essential to understand its implications before making a selection.

When filling out a company application, it's recommended to connect with a company registration expert. This will help you understand the requirements for starting a Pty Ltd company through Lawpath. You can schedule a call by clicking here, and one of our consultants will be in touch with you.
