I need to know the definition/description of/for an investor.

Questions:

Is an investor an owner in the company?
Can a person invest (financially) in a company without being a shareholder?
If not, how are percentage disbursements identified and made to that 
person?

Scenario:

If there are 100 shares in a company divided between 4 directors 33, 33, 
34, 0... do these holdings signify percentage of capital investment (could 
be thousands of dollars) or simply $1.00 per share as stated in the 
minutes?

If each shareholder has contributed thousands of dollars for their 
percentage of shares, are they entitled to that percentage of 
disbursements/profits? (Logically, I would say so and this is the point 
that I need clearing up)

Is a written agreement between the directors for altered shareholdings 
legal enough to be permanant; must it go through the Companies Office?

Thank you. Any info in this vein would be appreciated.

Ross

Disclosure: I hold no shares and no financial contributions in my own 
company!
