Certainly not much of an initial investment though. I wouldn't mind buying £1k worth of shares just so as I could get some free teas and sandwiches a few times a year.
Is he to do with the Ben Sherman brand then?

If in the end it brings extra backing into the club then I'm all for it. Maybe positioning themselves for when FFP goes belly up

Bob Comer used to start his Withdean matchday in the boardroom but always made his way to sit amongst the fans in the South Stand getting wet like the rest of us.
I've no doubt he's a genuine top notch fan.

Having been a director of a SME, it was a requirement that all directors had to also be shareholders for a set minimum amount. This is quite a common requirement in private companies.
I doubt this is of any real significance and NSC does not need to get excited.

There are a whole bunch of reasons to price shares at any given value.
Any share purchase has an effect on the value of a business and this can have all kinds of other implications.
If you are interested in this kind of thing there is one great scheme that I've had some insight of for the last couple of years. The government Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) scheme.
Basically if you invest in a small business that meets the rules, by buying shares and keeping your money in the company for at least a couple of years (i might be a bit out on the timescale but not too far). You can then claim tax relief on your normal income.
In gaining this tax relief you basically recoup your investment over time. Then if the company doesn't work out you've not really lost much, but if it succeeds you could end up on the board of BHAFC due to your new found wealth!
It was designed to encourage individuals to invest in small businesses when the banks wouldn't and I have to say its one government initiative I really do believe in.
Sure, it means that wealthy people can reduce their risk and increase their chances of getting even richer. But it also helps small business, which is the heart of our economy and provide the majority of jobs.
Out of interest, I was seeking investment rather than investing. Hopefully one day I'll be on the other end!

Thanks Greens :(
I seem to remember that in taking shares, albeit at nominal value, you also take on the risk associated, pro-rata, if the business goes tits up 
I would imagine it is a bit of that, as in spreading out the liability in the hopefully unlikely event of the 'business' eg BHA coming a cropper. On the other side of the coin, if things go well, divvies can be GOOD

Former midland bank senior manager. I worked with him then. An 'interesting' individual

In this particular case, 5,000 shares gives you as good as nothing in both cases.

You risk your investment, other than that if you have guaranteed anything I would have thought your liability would end there. On the other hand if your a director and things go wrong you may be at risk depending on if/what actions you took prior to it happening. IMHO
