Corporation
1. A corporation is a business organization authorized by the state to conduct business and is a separate legal entity from its owners. It is the dominant form of American business be-cause it makes it possible to gather large amounts of capital together.
2. Before a corporation may do business, it must apply for and receive a charter from the state. The state must approve the articles of incorporation, which describe the basic purpose and structure of the proposed corporation.
3. The stockholders usually meet once a year to elect directors and to carry on other important business. Each share of stock entitles its owner to one vote. A stockholder who cannot at-tend the meeting can legally authorize to vote his or her shares by proxy.
4. Management of a corporation consists of the board of directors who decide corporate poli-cy, and the officers, who carry on the daily operations. The board is elected by the stock-holders, and the officers are appointed by the board.
5. Some specific duties of the board of directors are to declare dividends, authorize contracts, decide on executive salaries, and arrange major loans with banks. Management`s main means of reporting the corporations financial position and results of operations is its annual report.
6. The corporation form of business has several advantages over the sole proprietorship and partnership. It is a separate legal entity and offers limited liability to the owners, ease of capital generation and ease of transfer of ownership. In addition, it allows centralized au-thority, responsibility and professional management.
7. The corporation form of business also has several disadvantages. It is subject to greater government regulation and double taxation. In addition, separation of ownership and con-trol may allow management to make harmful decisions.
