Whilst a company might wish to enjoy the benefits of being on a stock market, including increased visibility and potential liquidity for shareholders, it might also prefer to restrict external investment.
A company may, for example, be concerned about hostile takeover bids and want protection against them.
A closed shareholder group allows a company to completely control who can buy its shares. Access to the group can be restricted to, for example, existing shareholders, employees, the local community or customers, at the company's discretion.
