25 February 2011 It is alright if Mr.A and Mr. B hold 100% shareholding in a company. But ensure that the other 5 members are alloted atleast 1 share each so that there are total 7 members in all. They can hold these shares for the beneficial interest of Mr.A of Mr.B as the case may be.

Appointing a relative as director of the company to meet the minimum requirement of directors is alright. Being a public limited company ensure that the consent to act as director is obtained from all the directors.

25 February 2011 Thanks a lot.. Can you brief why other 5 members should obtain each atleast 1 share?
Whether Members compulsorily hold any shares in a company according to companies Act?
