The way shares are structured decides who controls the company, who shares in its profits, and how investors and family can be brought in without losing control.
A corporation can issue different classes of shares with different rights, to vote, to receive dividends, and to receive assets if the company is wound up. A single class of common shares is simple, but it quickly becomes limiting as a business grows.
Multiple share classes let founders keep voting control while bringing in investors, reward employees, or split income within a family in tax-efficient ways. The structure you set at incorporation shapes all of this, and reorganising later can trigger tax and cost.
Share structure sits at the intersection of corporate law and tax planning. The strongest results come from getting both considered together, before the shares are issued.
