C CORP INCORPORATION
A C Corporation is a type of company that is owned by shareholders. The shareholders elect a board of directors, that decide how the company operates. In a legal sense, corporations are separate entities that can sue or be sued. That means legal and financial liability lands on the shoulders of the corporation, not the owners. C Corporation are divided into public held and privately held companies. Publicly held companies sell shares to the general public – they’re required to disclose financial information. Privately held companies are not.
