Now, please also confirm whether 100% of shares of a company can be held by Body corporate or is it necessary/compulsory for individuals/directors to hold some shares.

28 October 2010 As far as concerned to private company the minimum requirement of members is two for public limited it is seven.So you have to compaly with the minimum requirements of members.

So 100% cannot held by a body corporate.
