Capital Stock Info

There is a distinction between "authorized shares," which is a pool of shares that the company is authorized to issue, and "issued shares," which is the number of shares that are actually issued (sold/granted) to the founders, investors, etc. The authorized pool is typically much larger than the number of shares that are initially going to be issued.

You first must indicated the number of shares authorized. Then under "Founders Shares," you'll indicate how many of those authorized shares will be issued to the founders. Those founders shares will initially represent 100% of the ownership.

Authorized Shares. Before shares are issued to founders, investors, or others, a pool of shares must be "authorized." For many companies, this number is fairly arbitrary. Many of our clients authorize 1,000, 10,000, or even a million shares, then create Bylaws that give the Board of Directors the authority to authorize more shares later as needed.

Par value is the face value of the stock, which is not the same as fair market value. For many of our clients, par value is often $0.01/share but can be more. Shares can also have no par value.

Founders Shares. When the Board of Directors convenes the first time, it will issue shares of ownership to the initial shareholders. Please list the shareholders here.
