Company Limited by Shares in Taiwan

Almost all subsidiaries are formed as a company limited by shares, except the unlimited company and the business with limited liability shareholders. Companies formed in this manner are usually unrestricted in their actions by the Company Act, except for broad restrictions on investments, capital loans, and guarantees. Unless a corporation limited by shares operates in a sector that requires specific permissions or approvals, there are no minimum capital requirements. If the company wants to hire foreign specialists to work in Taiwan in the first year, it must have a minimum start-up capital of NT$5 million.
