Paid-up Capital — Glossary

◈Definition

Paid-up share capital is the nominal amount credited as paid on issued shares under the statutory definition. It is not total investor funding, cash in the bank, valuation or revenue. Share premium is separate and consideration may be non-cash. Compare recorded amounts only when units, sources and dates are known.
