Characteristics of a Corporation
A corporation is a legal entity, distinct and separate from the
individuals who create and operate it. As a legal entity, a corporation may acquire, own, and dispose of
property in its own name.

Advantages of the Corporate Form
A corporation exists separately from its owners.
A corporation’s life is separate from its owners; therefore, it exists indefinitely.
The corporate form is suited for raising large amounts of money from stockholders.

Advantages of the Corporate Form
A corporation sells shares of ownership, called stock. Stockholders can transfer their shares of stock to other stockholders.
A corporation’s creditors usually may not go beyond the assets of the corporation to satisfy their claims.

Disadvantages of the Corporate Form
Stockholders control management through a board of directors.
As a separate legal entity, the corporation is subject to taxation. Thus, net income distributed as dividends will be taxed at both the corporate and individual levels.
Corporations must satisfy many regulatory requirements.

Characteristics of Stock
The number of shares of stock that a corporation is authorized to issue is stated in the charter. A corporation
may reacquire some of the stock that has been issued. The stock remaining
in the hands of stockholders is then called outstanding stock.

Shares of stock are often assigned a monetary amount, called par. Corporations may issue stock
certificates to stockholders to document their ownership. Some corporations
have stopped issuing stock certificates except on special request.

Stock issued without a par is called no-par stock. Some states require the board of directors to assign a stated
value to no-par stock.
Some state laws require that corporations maintain a minimum
stockholder contribution, called legal capital, to protect creditors.

The two primary classes of paid-in capital are common stock and preferred stock. The primary
attractiveness of preferred stocks is that they are preferred over common
as to dividends.
