Company Shareholders

Dormant Shares

When an active shareholder leaves the company without getting rid of their shares, those shares becomes dormant. A dormant shareholder cannot do anything with the company and doesn't have any say in its day to day business as long as there are any other active shareholders.

Once a company stands without any active shareholders, a dormant shareholder may take control of the company.
