its not that the cell does not have enough matter at the time the time of division, the cell starts division when it gets matured and the matter in it is sufficient for the new cell to survive and start its own life, thus the new cell formed has less material as compared to mother cell but it is enough to start its life and later on get matured.

during mitosis new proteins are generated that make up the membrane of the cell. so as they divide new material is formed through protein and enzyme interactions.
