Osakepääomajäsenien

Osakepääomajäsenien translates to "share capital members" in English and refers to individuals or entities who are shareholders in a Finnish limited liability company (osakeyhtiö). These members have invested capital into the company by purchasing shares. Their ownership stake is directly proportional to the number of shares they hold. The primary rights and obligations of osakepääomajäsenien are defined by Finnish company law and the company's articles of association.

As owners, shareholders typically have the right to participate in the company's general meetings, where they can vote on important decisions such as the approval of financial statements, dividend distribution, and the election of the board of directors. They also have a claim on the company's profits, usually in the form of dividends, and are entitled to a share of the company's assets in case of liquidation.

The liability of osakepääomajäsenien is limited to the amount of their investment in the company. This means that their personal assets are generally protected from the company's debts and obligations. The minimum share capital for a private limited liability company in Finland is currently €0, and for a public limited company, it is €50,000. The share capital represents the initial investment made by the shareholders to fund the company's operations.
