A stock certificate certifies that you are the registered holder of a certain number of shares, transferable only by you, and organized under the laws of the state. It\u2019s typically created with a complex art design to keep them from counterfeit reproduction. You will get stock certificate templates when you incorporate with us or buy a corporate kit. The contents of a stock certificate include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your Name,<\/li>\n<li>Business Name,<\/li>\n<li>An Identification Number,<\/li>\n<li>Number of Shares you own,<\/li>\n<li>Corporate Seal, and<\/li>\n<li>Authority Signatures (e.g. President, Treasurer)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col col-6-of-12\" style=\"text-align:center;

If you have a stock, you wield a percentage of the corporation\u2019s assets and profits. The worth of your stock goes up as the business grows, and decreases if the business doesn\u2019t do well and loses value. You can buy as many stocks as the company is willing to distribute\u2014and the more stocks you have, the more of the company you actually own. It doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that you can make decisions on daily company operations, or that you have the right to any of the physical assets the company owns, or that you are personally liable for anything. In that regard, you\u2019re not actually an owner of the company.<\/p>\n<h3>Stockerholder Stock Certificates<\/h3>\n<p>Stockholders may have the power to cast a vote on major concerns affecting the corporation, such as affairs regarding company assets and mergers. Stockholders may also sell or trade stocks, or keep them and be paid regularly (usually on a quarterly basis) from company profits or reserves. Stockholders may also have the right to review the corporation\u2019s books and records and sue the entity for wrongful actions. Ultimately, stockholder rights may depend on the terms and conditions of the stock certificate. If you own or are starting a business, it would be a very smart move to get a reliable attorney on your side to help you create a stock certificate that\u2019s worth the paper it\u2019s written on.<\/p>\n<h4>We can help you create, replace, or amend your Stock Certificates<\/h4>\n<p>Spiegel &#038; Utrera, P.A. offers complete business formation services, years of experience that can\u2019t be matched by many and the best price out there.
