What are Corporate Shareholders?
Shareholders are the owners of the company. Essentially, the company is run for the shareholders' benefit. A shareholder's portion of ownership in the company is evidenced by a stock certificate. It is not required that shareholders also have an active role in the company's operation, but in small companies, shareholders are usually officers and directors as well.
