Hello All,
I'm curious - what are the liabilities of being a shareholder in an organization? There seems to be conflicting advice online. A friend of mine who I was helping to get a business started randomly said one day, "You're going to be a 5% shareholder!". I didn't address it at the time or even make comments, brushed it off, as I didn't know when he was going to incorporate immediately, however I received a text this morning saying - "I've incorporated, you're a 5% shareholder!".
So I'm curious - is there any chance whatsoever of liabilities for being listed as a 5% shareholder on incorporation documents?
