The minimum share capital will be diminished in relation to traditional JSC. Moreover, projected regulations will allow to cover the stocks by an in-kind contribution and know-how without complicated and long procedure of valuation. The legal construction of simple JSC will also allow to relatively quick accumulation of investment capital.
