Majority Ownership

Majority Ownership

The holding of 51% or more of ordinary shares (common stock) which gives control of the firm. However, if none of the multiple shareholders of a firm holds a significantly high percentage of shares, the effective control may be acquired with less than 51% of the shares. This is also called majority interest.
