In most cases the majority shareholders also run and manage the daily business activities. Minority shareholders in these close held corporations often have limited say when it comes to daily operations. They also cannot elect officers or directors and are subject to the will and decisions of the majority. In some cases this can result in shareholder oppression.
In close-knit business environment there is an increased possibility of interpersonal conflict and shareholder oppression. When thing don’t go as planned, the situation often becomes one of conflict and dispute. A shareholder might die, the business might lose money, an investment can go bad and so on.
