How can I find out how much preferred and common stock the company that I work for has?

Which state or country is the company incorporated in?

Normally, while some such information is available online, the outstanding stock is not so available. Unless you are a shareholder, that information might not be available to you.

Thanks for your response. The company was incorporated in the state of Mississippi. I'm not concerned about outstanding stock but just what the total shares are and the value if possible.

You can look up the corporation here.

It appears, from looking at the report for a random corporation, that the information you want is available if the corporation was incorporated before 2009.

I'm curious as to why you want to know this.

A privately held company can have as many or as few shares as it wants. Shares in a privately held company are used to indicate ownership. So if one person is the owner, then there may only be one share.

The site AK linked to will have the information. But I just don't understand what good it does to have it.

The Mississippi site showed that the company is dissolved. I know that the HQ is in Atlanta could it be there under the secretary of state there as well? It also didn't show anything about shares.

If it was a Mississippi corporation, Georgia would only have information if it was registered there as a "foreign" corporation. Or it could have been re-incorporated elsewhere than in Mississippi (anywhere, actually), and they let the Mississippi corporation lapse. Does Georgia show anything about it?
