What are Authorized Shares?

Authorized shares are the maximum number of stocks that a startup is authorized to issue to shareholders. This number is generally defined in the operating agreement or articles of organization. The difference between issued and outstanding shares is what the startup keeps in its treasury.

Authorized Shares Examples

Examples of authorized shares include:

  • Example 1. Outstanding shares
  • Example 2. Restricted shares
  • Example 3. Floated shares
  • Example 4. Unissued shares

Here’s an article about authorized shares and their specifics.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

View Trustpilot Review

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

View Trustpilot Review

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
