How to Add a New Stakeholder
Adding stakeholders to your company or organization in Fidura is straightforward. This guide walks you through the exact steps to add either an individual person or a company as a stakeholder.
Before You Begin
Information You'll Need
Gather the following information before starting:
For Individual Stakeholders
- Required: First name and last name
- Required: Relationship to company (employee, investor, founder, etc.)
- Optional: Email address
- Optional: Phone number, address, nationality, date of birth
For Company Stakeholders
- Required: Company name
- Required: Relationship to your company
- Optional: Registration number, country of incorporation, legal structure
- Optional: Email address, phone number, address
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Navigate to Your Company's Stakeholders
- Select the company you want to manage from the top-left navigation
- In the left sidebar, click on the "Stakeholders" menu item
- Click on the "Add Stakeholder" button
Tip
Start with key stakeholders like founders and early employees first. You can always add investors and advisors later as your company grows.
Step 2: Start Adding a New or Existing Stakeholder
- At the top of the form, you'll see two options:
- Select "New Stakeholder" to create a completely new person or company
- Select "Existing Stakeholder" to add an existing stakeholder from your organization's list of contacts
Tip
Use "Existing Stakeholder" when someone already holds shares in another company within your organization. This maintains their unified profile across all entities while tracking separate holdings.
For most cases, select "New Stakeholder" (this is the default option).
Step 3: Fill Out Stakeholder Details
Choose Stakeholder Type
- In the "Stakeholder Details" section, you'll see two radio buttons:
- Select "Individual" for a person
- Select "Company" for a business entity
- Choose the appropriate relationship from the list:
- Employee
- Investor
- Founder
- Consultant
- Advisor
- Director
Tip
Choose relationships carefully as they affect reporting and compliance.
- Add Email Address (Optional)
Enter the stakeholder's email address if you have it. This is optional but recommended for communication.
Tip
Adding email addresses enables you to send updates, invite stakeholders to view their holdings, and streamline document signing processes.
