Promoter

Red Herring

A person who puts together a business, particularly a corporation, including the financing. usually the promoter is the principal shareholder or one of the management team and has a contract with the incorporators or makes a claim for shares of stock for his/her efforts in organization. most states limit the amount of “promotional stock” since it is supported only by effort and not by assets or cash.
