Why Moldova asks for a legalised shareholding agreement
A shareholders' agreement sets out the rights of investors and promoters. Authorities abroad, and foreign banks or joint venture partners, also ask for a certified shareholding pattern to see who owns the Indian company. Shareholders' agreements are executed by the company and its shareholders; the shareholding pattern or list is certified by a director or practising Company Secretary.
Opening a subsidiary or branch in Europe, or signing before a European notary, usually requires apostilled company documents and a certified translation.
In Moldova, a legalised shareholding agreement is typically requested for foreign subsidiary or branch registration; it is also used for beneficial ownership checks by banks and joint venture approvals.
A shareholding agreement issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Moldova accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
