Stock Company

A stock company, also known as a corporation, is a business organization owned by shareholders who buy shares of its stock. These shareholders hold a stake in the company's assets and profits, and their liability is limited to the amount they invested. Stock companies can raise capital by issuing shares to the public or private investors, enabling growth and expansion. They are managed by a board of directors and operate under regulations designed to protect shareholders and ensure transparency. This structure allows the company to access significant funding while providing investors with potential returns through dividends and stock appreciation.
