Call for an audit or poll (at least 10% of shares required) A shareholder can force an audit in regard to a company's accounts or demand a poll in regard to a proposed resolution.
When one partner owns 51% or more, they are known as a majority owner. Anyone who owns 49% or less is a minority owner. On a day-to-day basis, this may not make much difference. Both people own the business and benefit from the revenue that it generates.
Common shareholders are granted six rights: voting power, ownership, the right to transfer ownership, a claim to dividends, the right to inspect corporate documents, and the right to sue for wrongful acts.
