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.
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!
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.
For key company decisions, a company often needs to seek the approval of its board of directors or shareholders. A company resolution is formal approval of certain decisions made by the board or company shareholders who are entitled to vote on the matter at hand.
As a shareholder you own and benefit from the profits of the business, however, you have very little say on the day-to-day running. As a director you have full control on the day-to-day running of the business, the responsibility of the accounts, and tax requirements and payments.
A Director's Consent is a legal requirement under the Corporations Act before someone is appointed as a director of a company. The potential director must give the company a signed consent to act as a director before they are appointed. The company must keep this Director's Consent.
At least one shareholder. Unlike for directors, there is no residency requirements for shareholders. The rights and powers of the shareholders are laid out in the Act and may be modified to the extent allowed by the Act by the company's constitution (if it has one).
Whilst the directors control the day to day running of the company, shareholders have the right to vote on key decisions. These include the decision to remove directors in some cases, change the rights attaching to shares or wind up the company. You may also have the right to share in the profit that the company makes.
You can only register a shareholder in your company if they're: an individual person. an NZ company, or. another legal entity, such as an overseas registered company or limited partnership.
