JSC PROS
No Minimum Share Capital Requirement – Unlike a private limited company (LLC), which requires a minimum initial capital of 2,500 euros, there is no statutory capital requirement for establishing a JSC.
Limited Liability for Shareholders – Shareholders are only liable up to the amount they have invested, protecting personal assets.
Voluntary Share Transfer – Shareholders can freely transfer or sell their shares to other individuals or legal entities.
Profit Distribution Flexibility – A JSC can distribute profits to shareholders in the form of dividends, allowing for flexible earnings.
JSC CONS
Relatively Complex Accounting – Managing the financial records of a JSC requires detailed bookkeeping and compliance with strict financial regulations.
Strict Regulatory Compliance – JSCs must adhere to extensive corporate governance and reporting requirements.
Double Taxation – Profits are taxed at the corporate level, and dividends received by shareholders are taxed again.
Potential Loss of Control – Founders may lose control if a large number of shares are acquired by external investors.
More About a Joint-Stock Company (JSC)
A Joint-Stock Company (JSC) is a widely used business structure in Lithuania and across Europe. This model allows companies to issue shares and attract funding from investors, providing broader expansion opportunities. Shareholders have limited liability, meaning their financial risk is restricted to the amount they have invested, making this structure highly attractive to both business founders and investors.
However, JSC operations are subject to strict legal requirements, including mandatory financial reporting, independent audits, and compliance with stock exchange regulations. While this structure enhances a company’s credibility and attracts more investors, it also presents challenges such as increased regulatory burdens and the risk of hostile takeovers. Despite these challenges, a JSC ensures transparency, reliability, and long-term growth opportunities.
