Answer 2

A corporation is a business owned by many people called stockholders.

A corporation is a legal entity that is separate and different from its owners where it enjoys the rights and responsibilities such as entering of contracts, borrowing of money and loans, sue and be sued, hiring staff, owning assets and paying taxes. A corporation enjoys the limited liability aspect where shareholders benefit from profits in form of dividends and stock appreciation but are not directly liable for debts of the company.
