What to Focus On

  • Four stages of company formation are promotion, incorporation, floatation or capital subscription, and commencement of business.
  • A private company needs only promotion and incorporation.
  • A public company with share capital must pass through all four stages.
  • Promotion is the first stage in company formation.
  • It includes all preliminary work needed to start the company.
  • Promotion ends when the business is ready to begin operations.
  • Promotion is linked with creating a business enterprise.
  • The idea, planning, funding and organisation are all part of promotion.
  • Promotion continues until the business is ready to operate as a going concern.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A company is formed as soon as the idea of a business is conceived.

All four stages of formation are equally important for every company.

Promotion means advertising a product and nothing more.
