Liechtenstein Limited Companies:

Liechtenstein Company Limited by Shares:

The Company Limited by Shares is designed to be used as a public company, although it does not have to be public. There are founders who are (can be) distinct from the shareholders.

The Company Limited by Shares has a minimum capital of SFr 50,000, 20% of which must be paid up, with a minimum paid up of SFr 50,000. Bearer shares must be fully paid up, although the Articles can permit them to be 50% paid up; the minimum is still SFr 50,000.

If there is to be no public subscription, the company is formed 'simultaneously', in one legal act, and the founders are the shareholders. They create the company by entering into a Deed.

If there is to be a public subscription, the company is formed 'successively': first, the founders declare their intentions in general, then the subscription process takes places, and in a general meeting of subscribers (shareholders) the final details of the company's constitution are ratified.

Shares can have variable voting rights (eg multiple votes, or restricted votes), but non-voting shares are not permitted. The appointment of an auditor, and the annual submission of audited accounts to the Registrar, are mandatory for the Company Limited by Shares.

Liechtenstein Limited Liability Company:

The Limited Liability Company (Aktiengesellschaft) is formed by two or more members and has a minimum capital of SFr 30,000. The minimum subscription amount from any one shareholder is SFr 50. Further amounts need not be paid up unless the Articles provide for it; but the joint liability of the shareholders on liquidation or withdrawal is the amount of the registered capital.

Various types of share can be issued, including preference, registered, voting, no-par-value and bearer shares; only registered shares can be issued at below par value;

voting rights can be allocated or not freely to all types of shares, and voting rights can be limited according to defined circumstances or occasions;

a minimum of one director is required, who may be corporate; secretaries are not required; an exempt company needs to have a local professional as an agent; audited annual accounts have to be filed.
