Question

How does an investor get ownership interest in a company

Answer 1

I think you forgot to give the choices along with the question. I am answering the question based on my knowledge and research. An investor gets ownership interest in a company by purchasing shares of the company. I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.

Answer 2

I believe the answer is: by purchasing shares of the company

By purchasing a certain amount of shares, that investor automatically became part-owner of the company. For majority of companies, every 4 months, the company would announce the amount of dividend that they will give to the share owners. The amount of dividend that the owners receive would be according to the percentage of shares that they own.
