corporate ownership
Company holding assets
Corporate ownership is the holding of a business entity by shareholders rather than individuals or partnerships.
Ownership is divided into shares of stock, which can be bought and sold.
This structure separates ownership from management—shareholders own the company but typically don't run daily operations.
Corporate ownership shields investors from personal liability for company debts.
