Hello everyone,

I have searched the forums and the internet and been unable to come up with the answer to the following:

I am in the process of investing in a business. I have been told that I will buy X number of shares which equates to X percentage.

What I would like to do is confirm how many shares have been issued by the company. Is there any official way to find shareholder information on a company instead of just taking their word on it?

Thanks for any help,
Bobsuncle
