A shareholder is any person, company, or institution that owns at least one share of a company\u2019s stock. Because shareholders are a company\u2019s owners, they reap the benefits of the company\u2019s successes. Although they are partial and residual owners of the company, shareholders do not manage a firm\u2019s operations. Being a shareholder isn\u2019t all just about receiving profits, as it also includes other rights and responsibilities.<\/p>

• Brainstorming and deciding the powers they will bestow upon the company\u2019s directors. This might include appointing and removing them from office.<\/li>
• Deciding on how much the directors receive for their salary. The practice is very tricky because stockholders must make sure that the amount they will give will compensate for the expenses.<\/li>
• Making decisions on instances where the directors have no power over. For example, making changes to the company\u2019s constitution.<\/li>
• Shareholders must retain effective mechanisms to examine the affairs of the\u00a0company and voice concerns to the company and its managers. Shareholder\u00a0participation is vital in ensuring accountability of the company\u2019s board and\u00a0management.<\/li>
• To attend, in person or via conference call, the corporation\u2019s annual meeting to learn about the company\u2019s performance.<\/li>
• To vote on major corporate matters, such as who sits on the board of directors and whether a proposed\u00a0merger\u00a0should occur.<\/li>
• To inspect the company\u2019s books \/records and sue the corporation for misdeeds of the directors and officers.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

  Shareholders are the owners of companies. A small business may have just one shareholder, the founder, while a public company may have thousands of individuals. Shareholders are important to a business. They are a major source of capital and their money is what is used to start a business and help it to continue its operations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
