>The primary question which arises is what actually is a share?

A share is one of a finite number of equal portions in the capital of a company.A company may decide to sell the shares in order to raise money.The purchase of one share entitles the owner of that share to literally a share in the ownership of the company,including the right to a fraction of the assets of the company,a fraction of the decision making power,and potentially a fraction of the profits,which the company may issue as dividends.However the original owners of the company still have control of the company.
