Companies are responsible to their shareholders (or owners in a private company) for making a profit and to governments for obeying the laws.
Whether a company is "non-profit" or otherwise basically depends on whether it is registered in a way that allows the owners to get profit from it, or not.
A business with many owners with each owning shares of the firm is called a corporation. Corporations can be a profit or not for profit business.
because some company earn many profit and save some profit to use in the day of bad profit
The profit earned by a business that is distributed to the owners is known as dividends or profit distributions. This amount represents the portion of the company's earnings that is returned to shareholders as a reward for their investment and ownership in the business. Dividends can be issued in cash or additional shares, depending on the company's policies and financial position. This distribution is typically made after the company has covered its operating expenses and reinvested in growth.
The money is earned by stockholders and owners.
it is the profit that is not distributed to the owners. In an LLC, the earnings are the property of the owners in direct relationship to the amount of stock. But the company can not afford to distribute that profit to the owners when there is inventory to build, receivables that are not collected, bills to pay, and maybe equipment to purchase.
