The Deel platform allows clients to easily and compliantly track and manage their entity's shareholder information and shares.
Clients can manage:
- Share Capital – Record the entity's total issued capital, including detailed accounts of each issuance and alteration throughout its history.
- Share Classes – Categorize shares into different classes with distinct rights and privileges, essential for managing the equity structure and voting rights.
- Shareholders – Help track all shareholders, their shareholdings, and changes over time, including share issuance and transfers.
Accessing an Entity and Its Share Information
Follow the steps below to open an entity’s details page, where share-related tabs (Share Capital, Share Classes, Shareholders) are located.
Prerequisites
• You must have permission to open Organization Settings and view entity information.
Step-by-Step
- Open Organization Settings
From the Deel dashboard, click the gear icon in the top header.
- Navigate to the Entities section
In the left sidebar, under Organization & security, click Entities.
- Select the desired entity
In the entities list, click the name of the entity you want to manage.
- Review the Entity details page
Scroll through the page. At the top you will see general entity information; farther down are tabs for Share Capital, Share Classes, and Shareholders.
Note: If a dedicated shareholder section is not visible, it may be disabled for your entity or hidden due to permissions. Contact your Deel admin or support if needed.
Troubleshooting
• Cannot see the Entities option – Verify your role includes Organization Settings access.
• No Shareholder information visible – It may be disabled for the entity; confirm with your administrator.
• Wrong entity selected – Use the browser’s back button or return to the entities list and choose the correct entity.
Share Capital
Share capital represents the total amount of funds raised by an entity through the issuance of shares.
From the Share Capital tab, click Add Share Capital / Add Record and enter the required details to create a share-capital record. Once added, you can view:

You can also click View as Report, choose a date range, and download the resulting report for audit or compliance purposes.

Once share capital exists, open the Share Classes tab and click Add Classes. Provide:

After classes are created you can, from the same tab:
