Is software worthwhile if all shareholders are natural persons?
Antwort
That depends on the amount of work involved. With only a few shareholders, software is not necessary. Where there are several people, their information must be requested, recorded, checked and updated whenever anything changes. Software reduces this workload, makes it more predictable for the fiduciary and allows the board of directors to understand at any time why each person was reported.
