Corporate Ownership
Corporate ownership refers to the way a company's shares are distributed among individuals, organizations, or institutions. When people or entities buy shares, they become partial owners of the company, with their ownership stake reflecting their shareholdings. This structure allows companies to raise capital from a broad group of investors while determining control and decision-making power through voting rights associated with shares. Ownership can range from individual investors to large institutional investors, and it shapes how the company is managed and how profits are shared.
