Incorporating Companies with Corporate Shareholders

Incorporating a company entails choices that will shape its operation long after registration. A corporate founder must have capacity to invest and be validly represented. Its own bylaws or law may restrict acquisition of interests in another entity.

What to keep in mind

Confirm the investing company's existence, good standing, resolutions, powers and any required accounting documents, and organize how its shareholder rights will be exercised.

An employee's signature without sufficient authority can undermine the validity of the subscription.

Distinctions often confused

Proof that a corporate shareholder exists is not the same as proof that its representative can commit it.

Frequently asked questions

Can an SRL invest in another company?
Potentially, within the statutory restrictions governing the proposed structure.
Is the investor's bylaws document sufficient?
Not always. Registration certificates, resolutions, powers and further evidence may be required.
