Shares and shareholders

When a company is created, the president holds all of its shares. People who hold shares (shareholders) can receive dividends.

A company starts with 100 shares issued. For Limited (Y.K.) and LLC (G.K.) companies, shares are called “units” (of investment).
What the president can do: issue more shares or reduce them, pay dividends, and hand over the presidency.
Dividends pay out company funds in proportion to holdings. They count as income for those who receive them.
You can give your shares to people or companies from “Business” → “Holdings”.
You can also sell them for a price. The shares move when the other side pays (the buyer pays the 1% fee). If the price is 0, they are given right away.

In “Give / sell”, enter a company ID (3 digits) as the recipient, and the shares become that company's holdings.
A company can also hold its own shares (treasury shares).
Dividends on shares a company holds go into company funds. However, treasury shares get no dividends (the other shareholders share them).
The president can give or sell the company's holdings from “Company holdings” in “Holdings”. The money goes into company funds.
Offers sent to a company can be accepted by paying with company funds.
When another company holds more than half of the shares, the company becomes a “Subsidiary”. Treasury shares are not counted.
Parent companies and subsidiaries are shown on the company page.
