To raise capital. Let's say I wanted to build a mall. I sell stock to raise money to build the mall. The people who bought the stock are called shareholders. Shareholders are part-owners of my mall.

Limited liability corporations cannot sell stock because the ownership is nontransferable. There would also be some major issues with the property....if you dig deep enough I'm certain you would find prohibitive verbiage about selling stock to non-Indian shareholders based on the trust setup.
