# Can I form my company if my capital is already deposited?

Yes. If you have already deposited the capital and obtained the certificate of deposit of funds, you simply attach it to the file. The amount, the shareholders and the company name shown on the certificate must match the articles of association exactly.

## What to check on your certificate
- The name of the company in formation.
- The name of each shareholder and the amount paid in.
- An amount at least equal to the legal minimum to be paid up.
- The date, stamp and signature of the depositary.

If anything differs from the articles of association, adjust the articles before signing rather than depositing the capital again.
