What is share in company how many shares do companies own?

A company can issue shares, which is like slicing the ownership of the company up into thousands or millions of pieces. If you own 10 shares of Apple Corp (10 shares is worth about $1000 US, currently) you've got part ownership of Apple Corp. However, since Apple has several billion shares outstanding, you would only own a very small part of the company. It's up to the company to decide how many shares to sell. Of course the more shares they sell, the less each share is worth.

You have to advise your client whether or not to sell his shares In what way would the identity of the buyer possibly affect the answer and would a bid by an established company raise the share price?

In what way would the identity of the buyer possibly affect the answer... A shareholder might have personal reasons why they wouldn't want a certain person to buy their shares.

A well known (and successful company) bidding for shares would certainly raise the price, as their good reputation would be a bonus in showing interest.
