STOCK
In a corporation, ownership is represented by shares of stock, which signify a claim on the corporation's assets and earnings. Shareholders, the owners of these shares, have rights that typically include voting on corporate matters and receiving dividends. The percentage of ownership corresponds to the number of shares held relative to the total outstanding shares. Thus, owning more shares equates to greater ownership and influence within the corporation.
When a number of people share the ownership of a business, it is called a partnership or a corporation, depending on the structure. In a partnership, two or more individuals manage and operate the business together, sharing profits and responsibilities. In a corporation, ownership is represented by shares, which can be held by many shareholders. Both structures allow for shared ownership and collaboration in managing the business.
Ownership in a corporation is typically imparted through the ownership of shares of stock in the company. Shareholders own a portion of the corporation proportional to the number of shares they hold.
Most corporations can be owned by any number of people. Ownership in a corporation is represented by shares of stock. Each "share" represents an equal portion of ownership, and can be owned by a single person, more than one partners, or even another corporation. A special kind of corporation, called a Subchapter-S Corporation, receives certain tax benefits but cannot have more than 75 individual owners at a time.
