AUTHORIZED SHARE STRUCTURE
Common 10,000
An incorporated business can issue shares, which represent
ownership interest in the company and give the shareholder a
say in how the company is being run. For most small companies
starting out, a simple share structure with just one class of
shares (and no series) is typical.
See sample above for a typical share structure with just one
class of shares.
If there is more than one class of shares, each class must be
assigned an identifying name such as Class A, Class B, etc.
Important information about the company’s share structure:
The staff at the Corporate Registry cannot provide advice
on how to set up your company’s share structure. If you
do not understand what an authorized share structure is or
what its purpose is or believe you need a more complex share
structure, you should seek professional advice or purchase an
incorporation guide for detailed information and instructions
on establishing an authorized share structure.
Refer to the “Introduction” section of the incorporation
package for information on where to obtain more information on
incorporating a company.
