Updating share capital / contribution

The limited partners contribute a specific amount or property, valued at a specific amount to the partnership. A specific number of shares may be issued to the limited partners.

Any change to the particulars of the contribution, to the share capital or to the number of shares owned by each limited partner, must be notified to the Registrar of Companies with the form for changes to the partnerships’ particulars (form Σ2) within seven (7) days from the date of the change.

Registering the change

You can submit the notification of change of particulars of the partnership (form Σ2), by hand/post, accompanied by:

• the fee of forty euro (€40) for each change and an additional fee of twenty euro (€20), in case you wish to accelerate the procedure.

The fees are payable in cash, by cheque, via an account maintained with the Department of the Registrar of Companies or by bank transfer.

You are advised to refer to the main criteria of review and most common reasons for rejection, so as to acquire a better understanding of what is required and to facilitate the process further. 

Provided that the Registrar of Companies is satisfied that all, relevant to the circumstances, legal requirements have been met he will proceed with registering the change, and issuing the certificate of changes.

In the event that the partnership requires proof of the change made in the partnership's register, it may request to obtain partnership’s certified copies.
