Authorised capital
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The authorised capital of a company (sometimes referred to as the authorised share capital or the nominal capital, particularly in the United States) is the maximum amount of share capital that the company is authorised by its constitutional documents to issue to shareholders. Part of the authorised capital can (and frequently does) remain unissued.
The part of the authorised capital which has been issued to shareholders is referred to as the issued share capital of the company.
