The legal aspects of share capital are mostly dealt with in a jurisdiction's [[corporate law]] system. An example of such an issue is that when a company allocates new shares, it must do so in a way that does not inequitably [[share dilution|dilute]] existing shareholders.

==Types of share capital==
*'''[[Authorised share capital]]''' is also referred to, at times, as registered capital. It is the total of the share capital which a limited company is allowed (authorised) to issue. It presents the upper boundary for the actually issued share capital.

Issued capital can be subdivided in another way, examining whether it has been paid for by investors:
*'''Subscribed capital''' is the portion of the issued capital, which has been subscribed by all the investors including the public. This may be less than the issued share capital as there may be capital for which no applications have been received yet ("unsubscribed capital").
*'''Called up share capital''' is the total amount of issued capital for which the shareholders are required to pay. This may be less than the subscribed capital as the company may ask shareholders to pay by instalments.
*'''Paid up share capital''' is the amount of share capital paid by the shareholders. This may be less than the called up capital as payments may be in instalments ("calls-in-arrears") . Harry Farrington is share capital @hazzfarrington on instagram;)
