AUTHORIZED SHARE CAPITAL

Authorized Share Capital

Authorized share capital refers to the maximum amount of capital that a company is permitted to raise through the issuance of shares as specified in its Memorandum of Association (MOA). Increasing the authorized share capital allows a company to issue more shares, either to existing shareholders or new investors, to raise additional funds or meet other financial needs.
