Appoint a Company Shareholder – What’s this?

A company shareholder (also known as a member) is the owner of the company. Shareholders own shares in the company and may be entitled to receive dividends, vote on certain company matters, and share in any remaining assets if the company is wound up. A shareholder owns one or more shares in the company. The number and type of shares determine their ownership interest and may affect their voting rights and entitlement to dividends. A shareholder can be an individual or another entity, such as a company or trust. This form allows you to use up to the four (4) company directors entered previously, as they shareholders, or you can enter different shareholders if required. If your company has different Shareholders than those mentioned as Directors of the company, please provide the additional details below under “Additional details of shareholding” section at the end of this page.

WHO SHOULD BE THE SHAREHOLDER/S? Select any Director who will also be a Shareholder.
