Shareholders are the investors of the company, but the company has various types of shareholders. According to different standards, it can be classified as follows: (1) Whether the actual contribution of anonymous shareholders and prominent shareholders is consistent with the registration records, we divide the shareholders of the company into anonymous shareholders and prominent shareholders. A dormant shareholder refers to an investor who actually subscribes for the company's capital contribution or shares, but is recorded as another person in the company's articles of association, shareholder register and industrial and commercial registration. Dormant shareholders are also called dormant investors and actual investors.

Founding shareholders are also called original shareholders. The general shareholder refers to the person who obtains the company's capital contribution or equity by means of capital contribution, inheritance, accepting gifts, etc., thus enjoying the shareholders' rights and undertaking the shareholders' obligations.
