Is there any restriction on the number of shares proposed to be issued and the number of founder members (shareholders) of a local company limited by shares?
有限公司建議發行的股份總數和創辦成員（股東）的人數是否有任何限制？
The Companies Ordinance has not prescribed any requirement for the number of shares proposed to be issued. A local company limited by shares shall be formed by at least one founder member. However, if a limited company has more than 50 members (shareholders), it has to be registered as a public company.
《公司條例》並未規定公司建議發行的股份數目。一間有限公司，須有最少一名創辦成員。 惟如一間有限公司的成員（股東）人數超過50名，其則須註冊為「公眾公司」。
