Do you need to raise capital for your private limited company?

As a shareholder in a private limited company, it may be necessary to raise capital for the company for a number of different reasons. For example, it may be that the company needs capital to expand or invest in a new project. Perhaps the company has been affected by the disturbances of recent years, such as Covid-19, the war in Ukraine and higher interest rates and therefore needs an injection of capital to enable the business to progress according to plan or to avoid ending up in insolvency. There are several ways for a shareholder to raise capital for its company. This article describes two ways, a share issue and a shareholders’ contribution.
