Is it ok to start a new company, inject a decent amount of share capital into it, and then have it work off that (paying wages, fees, etc.)? If the worst happens, can you close a company once you have spent the share capital on such expenses?
I'm only asking because in certain nations the share capital is apparently untouchable, so you can never spend the money on anything because you always have to have that amount in the bank no matter what. Seems strange to me, but I've heard that's how it works in certain countries...
