Why must the capital distribution be consistent?

✅ In Short

The capital distribution shows what each partner contributes and holds in the company.

🧭 What You Need to Understand

• The total contributions must match the stated share capital (capital social).
• Each partner must have a share that is consistent with what they contribute.
• A distribution error can block preparation of the articles of association or create an inconsistency in the file.

🧩 Why It Matters

Formalities information is reused in the creation documents and may be checked by the competent organizations. A small mistake in an address, manager, partner, capital or activity can therefore lead to a correction request. It is better to handle these points calmly before validation.

💡 Simple Example

For example, if the total capital is €1,000 and two partners each contribute €600, the total no longer matches. The file must show a clear, complete distribution that is compatible with the stated capital.

🔎 Do Not Confuse

Information requested in the process is not requested out of curiosity. It can be used to identify the business, the people involved or the documents needed. When data seems sensitive, mainly check that it matches the reality of the file exactly.

🛠️ How to Do It on Leegal

• Indicate the planned total capital.
• Add each partner’s contribution.
• Check that the distributed total matches the total capital.

⚠️ Points to Check

• Do not leave capital undistributed without a reason.
• Do not exceed the total capital with cumulative contributions.
• If a person is supposed to join later, do not add them as a partner from the start without a clear decision.

📌 Key Takeaway

A consistent distribution avoids corrections to the articles of association and partner information.
