FAQ
Shareholders and directors have two completely different roles in a company. The shareholders (also called members) own the company by owning its shares and the directors manage it. Unless the articles say so (and most do not) a director does not need to be a shareholder and a shareholder has no right to be a director.
The answer to this question is both yes and no. While every board member is a shareholder, not every shareholder is automatically a board member. Shareholders who own a certain percentage of the company's shares (usually 10 percent or more) are eligible to serve on the board.
In a corporation, the board of directors has a fiduciary duty to the shareholders, requiring the board to make decisions in the best interest of shareholders.
A corporation is created when a business is incorporated by a group of shareholders with a common goal.
Shareholders own the company by buying and holding its shares, acting as the company's financial supporters. Directors are responsible for day-to-day management of the business and its operations. Being a shareholder does not automatically confer the right to have a say in how that company is run on a day-to-day basis.
A corporation continues to exist even after the death, incapacity, or withdrawal of shareholders, directors, or officers. Furthermore, as a separate legal entity, the corporation is liable for its own debts and can only be held liable to the extent of the corporation's assets.
All companies must have at least one share, and thus, at least one shareholder, in order to be validly incorporated as a private company. It is usual to have 1 000 shares allocated, although there is no limit to the number of shares that a private company can allocate in its MOI.
While the board of directors is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the company and overseeing management, it is the shareholders who are the ultimate decision-makers. This is because shareholders own the company and have the right to elect the board of directors.
While directors take care of the general day-to-day running of a company, shareholders still have a significant say, especially when it comes to any large decisions about the business. In simple terms: Shareholders own (part of) the company. Directors manage the company!
Although shareholders can't amend decisions already made, they can voice approval for specific actions or raise objections that will influence future decisions. If the shareholders disagree with the direction a director is taking the company, they may be able to remove the director from their position on the board.
