12.1 The Corporate Form of Organization
Two common ways to classify corporations are by:

purpose



Corporations: Organization, Share Transactions, and Equity 2

, A corporation may be organized for the purpose of making a profit, or it may be not-for-
profit.

ownership

Classification by ownership differentiates publicly held and privately held corporations.

A publicly held corporation may have thousands of shareholders. Its shares are
regularly traded on a national securities exchange such as the São Paùlo Stock
Exchange (BRA).

a privately held corporation usually has only a few shareholders, and does not offer its
shares for sale to the general public



Advantages and disadvantages of a corporation (vs proprietorship and a partnership)

incorporation is desired

a. the name and purpose of the corporation

b. the types and number of shares that are authorized to be issued

c. the names of the individuals that formed the company

d. the number of shares that these individuals agreed to purchase

2. government approves the application, it grants a charter

3. the corporation establishes by-laws

a. The by-laws establish the internal rules and procedures for conducting the affairs of the
corporation

b. Corporations engaged in commerce outside their state or country must also obtain a
license from each of those governments

4. Costs incurred in the formation of a corporation are called organization costs

a. These costs include legal and government fees, and promotional expenditures involved in
the organization of the business
