Does a limited company have to have two shareholders?

If there are less than 50 people, the quorum for establishing a limited liability company is divided into two situations: under normal circumstances, the number of legal shareholders must be more than 2 and less than 50. Under special circumstances, a state-authorized investment institution or state-authorized department may independently establish a wholly state-owned limited liability company, which is not limited by the fact that the number of shareholders must be more than 2 and less than 50. According to the law, the minimum registered capital of a one-person limited liability company is RMB 654.38+10,000.

Shareholders shall pay in full the capital contribution stipulated in the Articles of Association. A natural person can only invest in the establishment of a one-person limited liability company. A one-person limited liability company cannot invest in the establishment of a new one-person limited liability company. For the new company law, China has stipulated the number of shareholders of a limited liability company. For a limited liability company, the number of shareholders should be between 20 and 50. Therefore, the number of shareholders of a limited liability company is at least two and at most fifty. This regulation in our country is to make the company more diversified and competitive.
