Ownership of shares of a corporation merely gives you certain rights. These include the right to vote in the election of directors and the right to receive any dividends. A corporation exists independently from the shareholders, and is often referred to as an artificial person.

Entrepreneur can also own a corporation that does not only belong to him/her.
