Certificates of Stock: Corporations

A stock certificate is a document signifying the number of shares owned in a corporation. They have been in use for over 400 years and remain a valid aspect of operational business documentation. Here is one we dug up from the Green Bay Packers:

The stock certificate can also be called a certificate of share, share certificate, or certificate of stock. Whoever owns it is known as a shareholder. Corporations issue stock in order to raise capital for new business ventures. The Packers last issued stock during 2011 in order to fund a $145 million Lambeau Field expansion. You might not need that much (or maybe you need more!) but the idea remains the same.

These styles are available as custom printed certificates. Standard wording included. We'll print information specific to your Corporation and ship them over. Head to our blank section if you want clean templates for private manipulation.
