What are the different types of shares in a company?

A limited company must have shares and at a minimum of one share per shareholder. The majority of UK companies will only ever have one type of share, or class, but that doesn't mean the best share structure for every limited company with more than one shareholder is to issue one ordinary share each. It is possible to issue different types of shares so in this video we talk through what the main categories of shares are in limited companies and the circumstances and reasons why you might want to issue different types of shares to different shareholders. Because altering the share structure of a company later on down the line can be time-consuming and potentially expensive in terms of legal fees and tax. 🔔 Subscribe for more videos just like this 🔔    / @basicsofbiz   #shares #limitedcompany #crowdfunding #startuptips #startupadvice #startupbusiness #startingabusiness #businesstips #smallbusinesstips #smallbusiness #smallbusinessadvice #smallbizowner The information contained in our videos is provided as general information only.
