Stakeholders (fo-shizzle)

Stakeholder

Stakeholders can sometimes be confused for these people--------------------->

However, by reading this blog i will clearly outline what a stakeholder is.

So... What is a stakeholder?

A stakeholder is somebody who has an interest in the company, for instance families are prime stakeholders in a business because they care about the safety of the person from the family which is working for the company. Another stakeholder could be the bank. The bank would care greatly about a business because if a loan was taken out, they would want the business to pay it back as soon as possible.

What a stakeholder actually looks like...----------->

Ironically, stakeholders come in many shapes and forms, some care about a businesses well being and some care more for financial measures.

Even if they care for money or your stability they still care about you and that is all that counts.
