A share certificate is a legal document that serves as evidence of ownership for a specified number of shares in a company. When an individual or entity acquires shares in a company, the company issues a share certificate to confirm and document the ownership of those shares. This certificate includes important details about the shares and the shareholder. You can choose My All Business Consultant as top share certificate consultant.
