Corporations are legal entities separate from their owners, who aren't held responsible for the company’s debts, but are allowed to participate in profits through dividends and the appreciation of stock. Corporations can be divided into two: public companies and private companies. Together, they make up a fifth of all U.S. businesses, produce most of the goods in the market, and employ most U.S. workers.
