How many shares should I choose?

You can issue as many shares as you like when forming the company or after it has been set up, provided the total value of the shares does not exceed £10,000. Many people choose to issue a round number of shares, such as 1, 10, or 100 shares at £1 per share, as this makes it easier to calculate ownership percentages. A common example is 100 shares at £1 per share. If you own all 100 shares, you will have 100% ownership. If you own 90 shares and someone else owns 10, you will own 90% of the company. It's important to note that your shareholding also relates to your liability in the company. For instance, if you hold 100 shares at £1 each, you could be liable for up to £100 if the company faces financial difficulties. Please be aware that we do not allow share allotments exceeding £10,000 in total value.
