📈 What Is a Shareholder? Understanding Business Ownership in Canada
A shareholder is an individual, corporation, or organization that owns one or more shares in a company. By holding shares, a shareholder becomes a partial owner of the corporation and may benefit from its growth and success.
✅ Rights of Shareholders:
• Receive dividends when declared
• Vote on major corporate decisions
• Elect directors
• Access certain corporate information
• Share in company assets if the corporation is dissolved
Whether you're starting a new corporation, issuing shares, or restructuring ownership, understanding shareholder rights and responsibilities is essential for protecting your business interests.
