It is both financial and legal in nature. A corporation is a legal entity that is "born" when a human being registers the company under a limited liability company and issues shares to the owner(s). A share does not need to have "cash value" but is essentially the company "DNA." Whether it be a public or private corporation, the corporation "dies" when the company dissolves shares at 100% and the shares are liquidated into cash for the owner(s). Bankruptcy is another form of dissolution but again is driven by how the shares are handled. Taxes of course will apply, but this is a very basic and over-simplified explanation for the process. If you research corporation and how shares work within the entity, then a more detailed response can be located on Wikipedia and your local state/provincial and federal government websites.
