Legal Question in Business Law in Delaware
I have a question. Do the officers of an S-Corp have to have ownership of the corporation or can a person be an officer but have no ownership? Can a person be the President of an S-Corp but not be a shareholder?

Generally speaking, unless otherwise mandated in the bylaws, officers do not have to be shareholders of the corporation. The President is an officer, therefore subject to the bylaws, the president does not have to be a shareholder.
