If you do she is entitled to a dividend every time you pay out a dividend to yourself and you can't force her to sell her share holding. If you break up and she has equal shares it can be a real pain in the ass. If you pay yourself a dividend of £1000 you will have to pay her a dividend of £1000 as well.
IMHO do not give your girlfreind shares, if she is your wife fair enough if you divorce she can take you for half of everything anyway so there is not a huge amount of difference in risk, but giving your girlfriend something like that is a recipe for disaster IMHO
Of course I don't know what your relationship is like and it may be all good and you'lll stay together forever, but it's best not to bring finances and relationships together until you have to.
Still more hassle than it's worth - tell her to get her own job!

If you issue 1000 £1 shares, then you need to pay in £1000. If you only issue 1 £1 share, you only need to invest £1.
I have 1 share, wife has 0 - might reconsider after the Arctic result though...

Well you can transfer ownership at any time, so I'd suggest you start by having 100 shares (to give you some flexibility) and have them all yourself.
shares define who owns the company. If you wind the company up, or pay dividends out of its profits, the money goes proportionately to the shareholders.

Who gets what shares???
Hi peeps.
I have searched the forum but none the wiser.
I am about to form a limited company online but in the instructions it asks about shares and how much to issue?? Now i am new to this and if someone can elaborate on exactly what shares i should hold and how many do i give to my girlfriend??? What are the advantages/disadvantages of issuing small or large amounts???
Any help appreciated please.Tags: None
