What Are Company Shareholders?
Company shareholders are people who hold shares, also known as stock, in a company. Shareholders are entitled to part of the company’s revenues and the company must be run with their interests in mind. They also have input into some business decisions made by the company and in some cases, can be considered to have responsibilities to each other, usually in the case of majority shareholders who could damage other shareholders with their actions. The number of people who hold shares in a company can vary, depending on how it is organized.
