Setting Up your Company

What is a shareholder?

Shareholders are the company owners. They own shares in the company, which entitle them to a share of company profits. Most shareholders also have a say in important company issues, like appointing new directors. You can change the shareholders and their shares at any time after the company is registered by contacting Companies House.
