You can't alter the "opening balance" in GC per se, but you can put an opening transaction in. My ltd company's books show a transfer for the share capital (£10 in my case, for 10 shares issued and *actually* paid) debit Bank Account and Credit Equity:Shares I imagine you could have an Assets:UnpaidShareCapital account to hold the nominal £1, if you have not actually paid it to the company's account. and just a very small technical point, You own the share as a shareholder, not as a director. legally they are 2 very distinct "hats to wear"... IANAA and so on.
