It's €6200 if you're two shareholders, and €12400 when you're a single shareholder. Don't ask me where the logic lies in that. You'll still have an obligation to pay the full €18600, should you go bankrupt, don't forget that! There are also specific things, such as extended director liabilities, in the first 3 years after incorporation.
Something else to do would be to build a piece of IP, and then make a contribution in kind to the company during incorporation. This is also allowed.
That way, you won't have to contribute cash. If you have software that is worth €20k (using some valuation), then that can be contributed to the company as capital.
But you'll still have to pay the notary fees (€1000-€1500), plus for the valuation report (€800-1000) of the IP. You might also have to pay capital gains tax on the increase in value of the IP, which probably will be 7.5% on €20k, or €1500.
Contributing cash is better if you can, though, in this case.
