Natural person shareholding refers to natural person shareholding. Compared with corporate shareholders, natural person shareholders refer to individual investors with citizenship. After investing in the company and registering with the local industrial and commercial bureau, they will become natural person shareholders, and then register the company's equity. A natural person refers to an individual who is born naturally and enjoys civil rights and assumes obligations according to law. Shareholders are investors in joint-stock enterprises or investors who indirectly hold shares through limited liability companies and partnerships. After the special fund account encouraged the subsidiary's equity, the natural person held shares for the first time, and three kinds of equity incentive holding methods appeared one after another.

The difference between natural person shareholders and corporate shareholders

First, the difference of reference: natural person shareholders refer to individual investors with citizenship. After investing in the company, it will be registered by the industrial and commercial bureau where the company is located, and become a natural person shareholder after registering the company's equity. Corporate shareholders, also known as unit shareholder, refers to a shareholder who holds shares in other enterprises in the name of a company or group (institution).

Second, the advantages and disadvantages are different: natural person shareholders are specific people, who enjoy and can directly exercise shareholder rights and need to undertake obligations, such as attending shareholders' meetings, consulting financial and accounting materials and receiving dividends. Company shareholders exist as an abstract entity established according to law. The exercise and commitment of its rights and obligations need to be completed through the actions of specific people. The way is to send shareholders' representatives to complete it through authorized procedures, and the consequences will be borne by the organization.

3. Different subject qualifications: A natural person shareholder is the transferor or transferee who has the obligation to pay taxes or withhold and remit after the two parties to the equity transaction sign an equity transfer agreement and complete the equity transfer transaction, but before the enterprise changes its equity registration, and shall file a tax (withholding) declaration with the competent tax authorities. For legal person shareholders, the prerequisite for an enterprise as a legal person to contribute to the company and become a shareholder of the company is to have the capacity for civil rights. An enterprise as a legal person must exist in accordance with the law, that is, an enterprise as a legal person should meet the conditions stipulated in the General Principles of the Civil Law. There is no approval and registration formalities in accordance with the law, and there is no case that an enterprise as a legal person is revoked, dissolved, declared bankrupt or terminated.
