Fair warning: I usually translate in the other direction.

The first one sounds to me like "долевые вклады (участников акционерного
общества)." Though I often see it without "долевые." Also consider
"вклады в уставной капитал." But neither of these will do if we are
speaking of a public company where Ivan Ivanov buys the stock through an
open subscription.

For the second, I propose "долевое участие в Обществе (Компании)."

For the third, perhaps "Договор о сервисных услугах" -- depending on
what you have in mind. Are we speaking of the support that a
manufacturer offers for its products?

Registered shares are normally called "именные акции," so perhaps
something like "Акции Общества (Компании) являются именными"? In some
Russian constituent documents, I have seen statements outlining the
formation and operation of a stockholders registry (Реестр акционеров),
so you might approach it from that direction, too.
