Corporation
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.
In a private limited company, all the shares are managed by a small number of people and their liability is limited to the extent of each individual shared held by them.
A holding company primarily exists to own shares in other companies, allowing it to control them without engaging directly in their operations. A conglomerate is a large corporation that owns a diverse range of businesses across different industries, often to mitigate risk and enhance profitability. A multinational company operates in multiple countries, conducting business and managing production or services across various national borders. While a holding company may be part of a conglomerate, and a multinational can be a conglomerate, each serves distinct functions in the business landscape.
A person who buys a portion of a company's capital becomes a shareholder in that company's assets and as such receives a share of the company's profits in the form of an annual dividend. Lucky or astute investors may also reap a capital gain as the market value of the shares increases. Shares come in different forms: ordinary shares No special rights (except voting rights) are attached to these, and the bulk of a company's capital is issued this way. preference shares These have priority over ordinary shares in entitlements to dividend payments and in claims to the assets of a company if it is wound up. cumulative preferences shares The holder of these shares is entitled to a fixed annual dividend, and if this is not produced one year, the amount due is carried forward and paid the following year. This entitlement ranks ahead of ordinary shareholders' dividends. (Sometimes these are redeemable, in which case they are similar to loan securities.) participating preference shares The holder receives a stated dividend each year and is entitled to share in any profits remaining after ordinary shareholders have had their bite.
Subsidiary and franchise each have several different meanings. In business, a subsidiary is a company that is totally under the control of another company. A franchise is a business that is operated with legal permission to sell or distribute a particular company's goods or services.

It depends on the type of company it is. If it is a partnership then it will be decided how much money each person pays by the percentage of shares each person owns. If it is a public limited company then no one owes the bank any money.
because it limits your liability to the amount of shares that you hold. So if you hold 100 shares for £1 each, then your liability to the company's creditors is £100 (if you have not already given that to the co when you got your shares)
Suppose you want to start a lemonade stand. It will cost $100 to get all of the materials together and set up the business. You have $80. Your best friend has $20 and is willing to invest in the company. You decide to split the company 80/20, based on the money you each put in. This means you own 80% of the company and your friend owns 20%. If you think of this in terms of shares, you own 80 shares worth $1 apiece and your friend owns 20 shares at $1 apiece (or you own 4 shares at $20 apiece or 40 shares at $2 apiece or however many shares you decide the company will have). At the end of every month, you get 80% of the profits and your friend gets 20%. If you both decide your friend wants to own more of the company, you can sell some of your shares so that you each own 50% of the company.
In order to share shares equally within a company, one would need to divide the shares equally among the initial shareholders. If there are 5 people with shares in a new company, each person should have 20% of the initial shares.
When a business needs to raise cash, they arrange to sell shares of the business to individual people. There are regulations to be followed, but basically a share is a piece of ownership of the company. If you buy a share, you own that much of the company. The share price is what you have to pay for it. If a lot of people want the shares, and there aren't enough to go around, the price will go up. If people don't trust the company, they all try to sell their shares and the price of each share will go down.

Instead of buying up companies that produced similar products, some company owners formed informal alliances called cartels with other business owners who produced a similar product. As a cartel or pool, they could agree to limit the supply of the product and drive prices up. They would also agree to divide market areas so that each member of the cartel would prosper. Business owners could also form trust agreements with other business owners who owned a majority of stock in a similar product. When a business man owned stock in a company, he owned a percentage of the company. Therefore, as a trust, they could work together to limit competition.
