“Corporation “For profit, ‘C’ corporation”

The corporation is the stalwart business entity most commonly formed for raising capital and limiting individual liability. The Wyoming corporation INC is a super “person” which may live forever or be empowered to protect the shareholder from economic harm. It may own assets, sue or be sued, transfer its ownership easily, borrow money, mortgage its assets, and file bankruptcy. The corporation’s profits are taxed and dividends paid by the corporation to its owners are also taxed leading to the undesirable element of “double taxation.” A board of directors and corporate officers remove day to day management from the hands of the owners(shareholders). Shareholders may elect the board at shareholder meetings. Corporations may also be held criminally responsible for egregious activities.
