1. What is the maximum number of shareholders of a limited liability company?
Article 24 of the Company Law clearly requires that a limited liability company be established by shareholders with less than 50 members.
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.
Two, the establishment of a limited liability company should have the conditions
According to the requirements of Article 23 of the latest Company Law, the establishment of a limited liability company shall meet the following conditions:
(1) Shareholders meet the quorum;
(2) The capital contribution subscribed by all shareholders in accordance with the Articles of Association;
(3) Shareholders * * * agree to formulate the Articles of Association;
(4) Having a company name and establishing an organization meeting the requirements of a limited liability company;
(5) Having a company domicile.
The above knowledge is my answer to the question of "the maximum number of shareholders in limited liability companies". According to the Company Law, when a limited liability company is established, the number of shareholders shall not exceed 50 at most, and the number of shareholders shall not be less than two.
