Stock and Membership Certificates
Stock certificates are official documents issued by a company to its shareholders that provide evidence of how much of an ownership stake they have in the corporation. Limited liability companies (LLCs)have a similar document, called a membership certificate, which they issue to their members.
In general, both documents include the following information:
- Name of the corporation or LLC
- State where it was formed
- Number of units issued
- Recipient's name
Stock & membership certificates serve as an important record for corporate ledgers and registers. They also help increase company reputability by providing owners with a piece of official documentation representing their ownership stake in the business.
