A corporation is a common form of business organization that is chartered by a state government. It is granted many legal rights as an entity separate from its owners. The corporation is distinguished by limiting the liability of its owners, issuing shares of stock that can be transferred from one individual to another, and its ability to have perpetual existence. Because a corporation is separate from its owners it can protect them from being personally liable when the company is sued (known as limited liability). In addition there are tax benefits available to incorporated businesses that are not available to unincorporated businesses.
