āļø AVIEL FRIDAY LIVE: KEY TAKEAWAYS
You Own Most of the Business. Can You Do Whatever You Want?
Here are the key lessons from todayās discussion:
1ļøā£ A company is a separate legal person. Owning 70% of its shares does not mean owning 70% of its money or assets.
2ļøā£ Company money is not personal money. Majority ownership does not entitle you to use company funds for personal expenses at will.
3ļøā£ Shareholding is not unlimited control. Ownership, voting rights and management are different.
4ļøā£ Profits are not automatically dividends. Dividends must be lawfully declared and distributed.
5ļøā£ Losing your directorship does not mean losing your shares.
6ļøā£ Minority shareholders have rights too.
7ļøā£ Company decisions must follow proper procedures, especially where conflicts of interest arise.
8ļøā£ Disputes should be handled properly. Governing documents, negotiation, mediation or legal remedies may help.
