Non-cash consideration

Non-cash consideration

Non-cash consideration is property other than money that is used as payment for shares in a limited company.

What is non-cash consideration?

Non-cash consideration (Swedish: apportegendom) (contribution in kind) is property other than money, such as inventory, real estate or shares in another company, used to pay for shares. It occurs on formation or in a non-cash issue. It must be of use to the business and be valued prudently, with an auditor reviewing the valuation.

 

Non-cash consideration and the share ledger

The share capital increases and holdings may change, causing dilution for existing owners. The new shares are entered in the share ledger. Clear documentation of the valuation helps in later reviews.
