1. Does the limited liability company have shareholders?
A limited company must have two shareholders. Limited liability company should not have too many shareholders because of its certain humanity and trust among shareholders. The rule is 2 to 50 people. The number of shareholders in a limited company has both upper and lower limits, while the limited company has only a lower limit, that is, only the minimum number of promoters is stipulated, but in fact only the minimum quorum of shareholders is stipulated.
The main factors limiting the number of shareholders in a limited liability company are:
1. A limited liability company shall be established on the basis of capital union, with at least two shareholders;
2. Limited liability companies have the factors of combining capital and combining people on the basis of mutual understanding and trust, that is, the combination of people, which requires that the number of shareholders should not be too large;
3. Limited liability companies do not offer shares publicly, and their management is relatively closed, so it is necessary to limit the number of shareholders; Limited liability companies are generally small in scale and limited in shareholders, which are suitable for company decision-making and operation.
4. The limit on the number of shareholders of a limited liability company includes both the initial shareholders who participate in the establishment of the company and the new shareholders who are added after the establishment of the company due to new capital contribution, capital contribution transfer, company merger and other reasons, that is, the total number of shareholders cannot exceed the maximum limit.
The requirement for the minimum number of shareholders does not include the requirement for wholly state-owned companies, because the law has special provisions for wholly state-owned companies.
