When setting up a Limited Company, be careful when issuing Company shares#AskAMS

For most small one or two person Companies, the directors need only issue themselves with, say, a 100, £1 shares.

Anything more than that is potentially risky. It would be dangerous for someone to issue themselves with, say, 40,000 £1 shares because they have then created a £40,000 Company debt which must be repaid by shareholders if it goes into liquidation.

Fortunately, there is a way to correct this so long as the Company is making money and the balance sheet is positive.
