# Shareholder
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A shareholder is any person, company or other institution that owns at least one share of a company’s stock. Because shareholders are a company's owners, they reap the benefits of the company's successes in the form of increased stock valuation. If the company does poorly, however, shareholders can lose money if the price of its stock declines.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A shareholder is uniquely identified by the Shareholder ID. Normally this ID is a naming series, starting with `SH-`. Also as soon as the Shareholder makes even a single transaction, a Folio number is allocated to him. This also is a unique to the Shareholder.
|

|
|
|

|
|
You can directly create your Shareholders via
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> Accounts > Shareholder

A Shareholder can avail the features (operations) in the [Share Transfer](/docs/user/manual/en/accounts/share/share_transfer.html) process.

> Note: Shareholders are separate from Contacts and Addresses. A Shareholder can
|
|||
|
|
have multiple Contacts and Addresses.

|
### Contacts and Addresses
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[Contacts and Addresses](/docs/user/manual/en/CRM/contact.html) in ERPNext are stored separately so that you can
|
|||
|
|
attach multiple Contacts or Addresses to Shareholders, Customers and Suppliers
