Shareholding has not become thing in the recent times. In fact, it has been around for hundreds of years ever since the stock markets have been founded. A shareholder is a person or an institution that owns at least one share of all stocks in a private corporation. Shareholders can also be members of various other companies.

In legal terms, a person cannot be considered as a shareholder of a company until her or his name is entered in the shareholder registers. Based on the class of stocks, the shareholders enjoy a range of different benefits. The shareholders carry the right to sell away their shares at any point.
