Many companies when being designed do not take into account different levels of responsibilities and functions, who will be the people who participate in the venture, or are often confused. It is very normal and recurring in a venture that we have in conjunction with another person, and know that we form a society , but do not stop to analyze the differences according to the role that they have.
The first explanation that will help us understand who is who, we can give it by the side of what each brings in the company:
1. Capital: in money or goods. Exceptions, those who provide capital, do it for income (money). For example, if you do not put the money in this business, would the bank and get XX% income.
2. Address : the whole company is directed by one or more persons, who will be that designated by those who provided the capital, decides and directs the company towards the end of its creation (a profit). As a business responsibility falls on them, the fees will directors in compensation.
3. Working : will the person or persons develop the activity of the company. positions ranging from management to the operational , and in consideration of their time and knowledge, will be paid a salary.
With this introduction, we clarify that there are countless cases where one person can occupy all three categories. In micro, new ventures, family businesses, among others, is very common to be the same person who put the capital, directed the company and work on it daily. This person also receive income (profits) and management fees, will receive a salary for his work in the company. Let us explain
depending on the type of companies (SA, SRL or SH) the name given to each of these categories, depending on the type of contribution they make to the company. In all cases, those who only make their own work, be employed.

clear view, we can see that not necessarily the person who put the capital must be the same as run the company, and obviously not the work to provide it. The shareholder never lose ownership of the stake in the company, the director have the vote of confidence to lead the company with the objective of its creation, and employees will be those who provide the labor for it.
