Minimum capital is a concept used in corporate law and banking regulation to stipulate what assets the organisation must hold as a minimum requirement. The purpose of minimum capital in corporate law is to ensure that in the event of insolvency or financial instability, the corporation has a sufficient asset base to satisfy the claims of creditors.

Corporate law

All public companies within the European Union are required to hold at least £50,000 in capital stocks[citation needed].
