Investors/Stockholders. Initial Stockholders are the group of people who started the

the operations of the corporation. Second are the Investors or simply stockholders, who
invest money to receive profit from the corporation in the form of dividends. Also, the
money invested is used to help and support the business entity and its operations.
Likewise, Stockholders like these can be classified into two namely: Major stockholders
and Minor Stockholders. Major Stockholders are the people who own a large portion of
the Corporation around 15-50% and above. They are expected to be more active with the
corporation since they carry a huge weight of the corporation. Next, are the Minor
Stockholders, who own small portions of the corporation which is around 10% and
below. The amount and percentage of ownership can be matched with the number of
stocks owned by the stockholder over a corporation. When a Stockholder buys a portion
of the Corporation, he/she will receive what is known as a Stock Certificate. This
certificate shows the number of stocks taken, the cost of each stock and other information
