Share capital — what SEK 25,000 means in practice

Shares and quotient value

The share capital is divided into shares. The quotient value is the capital divided by the number of shares — SEK 25,000 across 250 shares gives a quotient value of SEK 100. You choose the number of shares; more shares make it easier to split ownership precisely between founders.

The money is not locked

A common misconception is that the share capital must sit untouched in the account. It does not: the money is the company's working capital and may be used in the business — computers, rent, salaries.

What matters instead are the rules on the company's equity: if more than half the registered share capital is consumed, special requirements around a balance sheet for liquidation purposes apply. Keep the finances in order from the start.

The bank certificate

When the capital is paid in cash, a bank must certify the deposit. The certificate is attached to the registration with Bolagsverket. Contribution in kind — paying with assets other than money — is possible but requires an auditor's certificate and is uncommon for new companies.

What Grundeo does

Grundeo calculates the quotient value, keeps the founder allocation summing to exactly one hundred percent, and guides the capital deposit and bank certificate as part of the flow.
