Customer Questions
Pricing?
Because single share stock certificates are expensive to process, traditional brokerages prefer not to service single share transactions, not to mention framing! Even if you could convince your broker to process just one share; if you add up all the different types of fees that you will be charged, you will quickly see the value of the service we provide. We encourage you to call your broker to confirm!

Even at online discount brokers you will pay more because in addition to the minimum commission, you will be charged additional fees for physical delivery, and special handling fees. You will also need to provide an initial cash deposit.

Real share ?
The share certificate is real giving you true ownership of one share in the company that you purchase. It is legal so you are entitled to all rights of a single shareholder. You will receive dividends if the company pays them. You will receive quarterly and annual reports. You will receive anything that any single shareholder of the company gets. You receive these directly from the company because the certificate is registered in your name or the name of a friend if you want to make this a gift.
