Luxembourg: Contracts and Commercial Law

Currently, access to statutory ring-fenced compartments in Luxembourg requires the use of a dedicated product framework (RAIF, SICAR, SIF or Part II UCI). Although effective, these regimes entail statutory constraints, including minimum capital requirements and mandatory risk-diversification rules.

Luxembourg has introduced a new law allowing founders of private limited liability companies (SARLs) to defer the cash payment of the EUR 12,000 minimum share capital for up to 12 months following incorporation. This legislative change addresses the practical challenge of opening bank accounts before incorporation, enabling businesses to launch quickly without immediate funding requirements while maintaining statutory minimum capital safeguards.
