Yes, it is a noun. A corporation is a business that has been incorporated or "given a body" (made into a separate legal entity from its owners); a word for a thing.
There are three main types of business ownerships. The first is a sole proprietorship, and this is a business owned and operated by one person. Next is a partnership and this is a business that has two or more parties running it. The last is a corporation and this is a business that has separate liability from the owners.
When someone owns a business, they often take the chance of their equipment being damaged, stolen, or breaking down. Business owners often times do not have the means to pay for new or fixed equipment out of pocket, this is why it is important for business owners to demonstrate an appropriate level of financial responsibility.
It is because of the Business Entity concept where firm(business) is considered to be seperate from its owners. In business records, the owners are treated like the creditors to whom the business is liable.

Unless you're operating your small business as a sole proprietorship or general partnership, you need to demonstrate that the business is separate from the owners.
it basically means that the business is separate from its owners. meaning that owners personal problems and transaction and other stuff can not be mingled with the business or vice versa. hope that helps. tried to make it as simple as i cud
The Separate Entity Assumption states that business transactions are separate from the transactions of the owners. As an example, if the owner purchased an asset for personal use, the property is not an asset of the business.
In business terms it means that the owners of the business (ie shareholders) are not liable for the businesses actions. Basically, if the business were to get in debt, and become bankrupt, it would not make the owners bankrupt, just the company. The owners and the company are separate in the eyes of the law.
Entity concept of accounting tells that company and owners of company are two separate things so any amount owner invested in business is refundable by business to it's owners and that's why that investment is liability for business towards its owners.
In business books of accounts only business transactions are recorded as per Entity concept of accounting business owners and business accounts are two separate entities and two separate entities cannot show transactions in same books of accounts.
When a business is incorporated, that means that the business has been organized as an entity under state law. The incorporated business is separate and apart from its individual owners. As a separate entity, the people who deal with the business - customers, suppliers, lenders, etc... - can only look to the corporation to enforce any claims that they may have against the business. The owners (shareholders) of the business are not personally liable for the claims against the incorporated business.
The business entity convention in accounting distinguishes the business from any other accounting entity. So the accounts of the owners are kept separate from those of the business.
