The charter capital of an LLC consists of contributions made by its participants.
The initial charter capital may not be less than an amount equal to 100 times the statutory monthly minimum wage, currently 100 RUR.
At least 50% of the charter capital amount must be paid by the date of the LLC’s registration, and the balance must be paid in full within the first year of its operation.
Contributions may be made in cash or in kind, and certain customs benefits may be available for in-kind contributions made by foreign investors. The charter capital may be increased only after the original charter capital has been paid in full.
