Share Holder

A Shareholder is someone who owns shares of a Company.

• A Shareholder is any person, company or other institution that owns at least one share of a company’s stock.

• Because shareholders are a company's owners, they reap the benefits of the company's successes in the form of increased stock valuation.

• If the company does poorly, shareholders can lose money if the price of company stock declines.

Any profit or loss made by a Company belongs to the Shareholders and hence the Shareholders are a liability to the Company.

ActiveBooks allows you to keep a track of all your Shareholders and maintain Share Transfers, Share Ledger and Share Balances.

A shareholder is uniquely identified by the Shareholder ID. Normally this ID is a Naming Series starting with 'ACC-SH-'. Also as soon as the Shareholder makes even a single transaction, a Folio number is allocated to him. This also is unique to the Shareholder.

To access the Shareholder list, go to:

Accounting > Share Management > Shareholder
