WEBVTT
1
00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:03.900
Hello now we are ready to create the corporation
2
00:00:03.900 --> 00:00:06.400
in August so that we can start the
3
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:07.400
activity in September.
4
00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:12.100
We decided to select the joint stock cooperation
5
00:00:11.100 --> 00:00:15.100
as a legal environment, which will
6
00:00:14.100 --> 00:00:17.700
allow us to grow and open
7
00:00:17.700 --> 00:00:20.400
the capital a little bit later. So far.
8
00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:24.000
The initial capital is $10,000. We create
9
00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:26.400
1,000 shares the power
10
00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:29.500
value per share is $10. No problem. Now,
11
00:00:29.500 --> 00:00:31.300
what is very important to understand?
12
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:36.300
Is that each and every share is an ownership, right?
13
00:00:35.300 --> 00:00:38.500
The shareholders are the
14
00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:41.600
co-owners of the company now when
15
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.800
you have an ownership, right, you have all the
16
00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:47.700
rights which are associated with this ownership.
17
00:00:48.300 --> 00:00:51.300
You have a right on the value of the company because you
18
00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:54.800
are a co-owner. You have a right on the profits
19
00:00:54.800 --> 00:00:57.400
which are generated by the company. And
20
00:00:57.400 --> 00:01:00.300
then you have a dividend right and you have the right
21
00:01:00.300 --> 00:01:03.300
to be informed of what is happening in
22
00:01:03.300 --> 00:01:06.300
the company. Of course, there are limitations because of
23
00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:09.900
confidentiality, but it's information right is absolutely different.
24
00:01:11.100 --> 00:01:14.300
To start with I keep 100% of the shares.
25
00:01:14.300 --> 00:01:16.900
I am the only and unique owner.
26
00:01:17.800 --> 00:01:20.200
Now the question is why this figure of
27
00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:24.300
$10,000? Well, it's about business creation.
28
00:01:23.300 --> 00:01:26.700
So that will be some risk and
29
00:01:26.700 --> 00:01:29.300
fluctuations. I am a cautious person. I want
30
00:01:29.300 --> 00:01:32.200
to have a kind of financial buffer and maybe I
31
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.800
will need these funds to finance my growth so initially,
32
00:01:35.800 --> 00:01:38.500
what do I do? I simply write a check
33
00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:41.400
of 10,000 which I put in
34
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.400
the bank account of the company and that's
35
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:45.400
it for the creation.
36
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.900
Now the opening balancing the first balance
37
00:01:49.900 --> 00:01:52.900
sheet of the life of the company asses where
38
00:01:52.900 --> 00:01:55.800
the company stands at the very beginning and
39
00:01:55.800 --> 00:01:58.500
tries to give an answer to two question. How much
40
00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:01.900
did I invest as a shareholder owner
41
00:02:01.900 --> 00:02:04.900
of a company? And what is my current cash
42
00:02:04.900 --> 00:02:05.600
situation?
43
00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:09.100
You will have these two questions at the end of
44
00:02:09.100 --> 00:02:12.600
each and every month during this first
45
00:02:12.600 --> 00:02:15.200
module assets is what is
46
00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:18.600
owned by the company and what is owned by the company is it's
47
00:02:18.600 --> 00:02:22.200
bank account with cash 10,000 Equity is
48
00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:24.100
what I invested. I invested in
49
00:02:24.100 --> 00:02:28.000
capital 10,000 and this is my initial opening
50
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:28.800
balance sheet.
51
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.800
In terms of knowledge. The first observation is
52
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.800
at the balance sheet simply balances, which
53
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.200
is not a surprise. It's a very
54
00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:41.400
mechanical process. It starts very simply
55
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.600
and you will understand that when the balance it becomes
56
00:02:44.600 --> 00:02:48.600
very complex. It will still mechanically balance.
57
00:02:49.600 --> 00:02:52.800
In terms of terminology the assets is
58
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.400
exactly all the items, which are
59
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:57.000
owned by the company.
60
00:02:57.900 --> 00:03:00.100
And the equity is what has been
61
00:03:00.100 --> 00:03:03.600
invested by the shareholders liabilities will
62
00:03:03.600 --> 00:03:06.000
come quite soon and it is
63
00:03:06.700 --> 00:03:10.200
what is owed to other external stakeholders.
64
00:03:11.300 --> 00:03:14.100
But you understand that in this terminology, you have
65
00:03:14.100 --> 00:03:18.000
a kind of legal perspective first. Accounting
66
00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:21.200
is first a legal obligation. And
67
00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:23.400
for the lawyers a question is what
68
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.100
happens if you terminate the activity of the
69
00:03:26.100 --> 00:03:29.600
company your liquid at the company simply you
70
00:03:29.600 --> 00:03:32.700
sell the assets then you redeem your
71
00:03:32.700 --> 00:03:35.300
repair is a liabilities and what is
72
00:03:35.300 --> 00:03:38.900
left is located to the equity owners.
73
00:03:38.900 --> 00:03:41.700
That's the legal perspective for US finals
74
00:03:41.700 --> 00:03:44.700
people. Of course, the legal perspective is important, but we
75
00:03:44.700 --> 00:03:47.400
want to complement that by something which is in our
76
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:50.500
opinion much more important. The financial
77
00:03:50.500 --> 00:03:53.300
perspective is where the Monet comes from the
78
00:03:53.300 --> 00:03:57.000
sources of on the origin of the financing and
79
00:03:56.600 --> 00:03:59.400
what we bought what we
80
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.600
invested in the activity the users of
81
00:04:02.600 --> 00:04:05.400
phones. So for US finals people, it's about
82
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:07.700
sources and users of phones.
83
00:04:08.500 --> 00:04:11.300
The company's now ready to operate. We have a
84
00:04:11.300 --> 00:04:14.800
legal entity. We have created a company. We have identified
85
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.500
market and a supplier. We are ready
86
00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:20.000
to generate our first sales in September.
Hello now we are ready to create the corporation in August so that we can start the activity in September.
We decided to select the joint stock cooperation as a legal environment, which will allow us to grow and open the capital a little bit later.
So far.
The initial capital is $10,000.
We create 1,000 shares the power value per share is $10.
No problem.
Now, what is very important to understand? Is that each and every share is an ownership, right? The shareholders are the co-owners of the company now when you have an ownership, right, you have all the rights which are associated with this ownership.
You have a right on the value of the company because you are a co-owner.
You have a right on the profits which are generated by the company.
And then you have a dividend right and you have the right to be informed of what is happening in the company.
Of course, there are limitations because of confidentiality, but it's information right is absolutely different.
To start with I keep 100% of the shares.
I am the only and unique owner.
Now the question is why this figure of $10,000? Well, it's about business creation.
So that will be some risk and fluctuations.
I am a cautious person.

Now the opening balancing the first balance sheet of the life of the company asses where the company stands at the very beginning and tries to give an answer to two question.
How much did I invest as a shareholder owner of a company? And what is my current cash situation? You will have these two questions at the end of each and every month during this first module assets is what is owned by the company and what is owned by the company is it's bank account with cash 10,000 Equity is what I invested.
I invested in capital 10,000 and this is my initial opening balance sheet.
In terms of knowledge.
The first observation is at the balance sheet simply balances, which is not a surprise.
It's a very mechanical process.
It starts very simply and you will understand that when the balance it becomes very complex.
It will still mechanically balance.
In terms of terminology the assets is exactly all the items, which are owned by the company.
And the equity is what has been invested by the shareholders liabilities will come quite soon and it is what is owed to other external stakeholders.
But you understand that in this terminology, you have a kind of legal perspective first.
Accounting is first a legal obligation.
And for the lawyers a question is what happens if you terminate the activity of the company your liquid at the company simply you sell the assets then you redeem your repair is a liabilities and what is left is located to the equity owners.
That's the legal perspective for US finals people.
