What are shareholders and shares?
A shareholder owns part of a company via shares. The number and type of shares they hold determines how much control and profit entitlement they receive. Directors run the company, shareholders own it. You can be both.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about Add or Remove a Shareholder.
Can anyone be a shareholder?
Yes. Individuals or companies from any country can be shareholders of a UK limited company.
Do new shareholders need to verify their identity?
Yes. Each person added needs identity verification.
How do share transfers work?
A stock transfer form is signed and the new shareholdings are filed with Companies House in your confirmation statement. Stamp Duty may apply if the shares are worth over £1,000.
Do shareholders manage the company?
Not usually. Shareholders own the company but directors handle day-to-day operations unless they’re the same person.
How much is a share worth?
Shares have a ‘nominal’ value (usually £1) and may also have a market value if sold or transferred.
