What is a capital company?
A capital company is a commercial corporation in which shareholders are obliged to make capital contributions. It is required to establish share capital. Shareholders are liable for the company’s debts only up to the amount of their unpaid capital contributions, which means that the company’s assets are separate from those of the shareholders (‘the principle of separation’).
Examples of capital companies include a joint-stock company (a.s.), a limited liability company (s.r.o.) and an European company (SE).
