- Stockholders are not personally liable for debts.
- It has double taxation (corporations pay income tax, stockholders pay income tax on dividends).
- Ownership is easily transferable.
- It has stricter regulations than other forms of ownership.
- It has higher startup costs.
Discuss the following:
- Why does a company choose to incorporate?
- List 1 characteristic of a corporation, and discuss whether it is beneficial to the organization and why or why not.
