“Written Consent in Lieu of Meeting” is a legal mechanism that allows the board of directors, shareholders, or members of an organization to make a decision or approve a resolution without actually convening a physical or virtual meeting.
You can only register a shareholder in your company if they're: an individual person. an NZ company, or. another legal entity, such as an overseas registered company or limited partnership.
Founders, investors and employees can all own shares in a company. However, the company Constitution or Shareholders Agreement may have its own set of rules on who can become a shareholder. Therefore, the general policy may be overridden by rules the company Constitution has set out.
Minimum Age Requirement: In most countries, the minimum age to become a shareholder is 18 years. This means that a person below the age of 18 cannot own shares in a company. Legal Capacity: To become a shareholder, one needs to have the legal capacity to own property.
Shareholder action taken by written consent is universally recognized as a valid approval by shareholders and this is expressly confirmed by California statute. The 10-day waiting period acts to delay the effectiveness of the action, which hinders a corporation's ability to act with speed and efficiency when necessary.
At least one shareholder. Unlike for directors, there is no residency requirements for shareholders. The rights and powers of the shareholders are laid out in the Act and may be modified to the extent allowed by the Act by the company's constitution (if it has one).

Shareholders and directors have two completely different roles in a company. The shareholders (also called members) own the company by owning its shares and the directors manage it. Unless the articles say so (and most do not) a director does not need to be a shareholder and a shareholder has no right to be a director.
A Director's Consent is a legal requirement under the Corporations Act before someone is appointed as a director of a company. The potential director must give the company a signed consent to act as a director before they are appointed. The company must keep this Director's Consent.
While directors take care of the general day-to-day running of a company, shareholders still have a significant say, especially when it comes to any large decisions about the business. In simple terms: Shareholders own (part of) the company. Directors manage the company!
