Shareholders' Protection

	Shareholders' Protection Shareholders' protection is a contingency process detailing what will happen to a shareholder's shares if the shareholder dies or becomes seriously ill. In the interests of financial security, business stability, and continuity – particularly for private limited companies where there may only be a small number of principal shareholders – it is essential to provide a safety net following the loss of a shareholder: * Shares may go to the deceased’s family, which has no interest in the business and would prefer a cash sum * The company or other shareholders will want to retain control by buying lost shares – but may not have the resources to do so * The shares may be taken over by someone who does not share the company’s objectives – and may even be a competitor {{DEFAULTSORT:Shareholders' Protection Corporate law Protection Protection is any measure taken to guard a thing against damage caused by outside forces.

	Shareholder A shareholder (in the United States often referred to as stockholder) of a corporation is an individual or legal entity (such as another corporation, a body politic, a trust or partnership) that is registered by the corporation as the legal owner of shares of the share capital of a public or private corporation.

	Private Company Limited By Shares A private company limited by shares is a class of private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland, certain Commonwealth countries, and the Republic of Ireland. It has shareholders with limited liability and its shares may not be offered to the general public, unlike those of a public limited company. "Limited by shares" means that the liability of the shareholders to creditors of the company is limited to the capital originally invested, i.e. the nominal value of the shares and any premium paid in return for the issue of the shares by the company.
