A business man can invest his money in stocks and shares. This investment gives him the right of ownership of some part of the business. Stock capital gives right of ownership. The stock is divided into a certain number of shares. The person who buys stock is called a stockholder. The business or corporation issues stockholders one or more stock certificates to show how many shares they hold. A corporation is an organization that can own property. It can make contracts as if it were an individual and it has certain rights and duties separate from its members. Those who invest in a corporation have Limited Liability.
Limited Liability has to do with the members of a corporation as individuals, and not as a group. The liability of the members is limited in the sense that if the corporation fails, they can lose no more than their individual investment. The corporation's debts are not their debts.
The profits of companies are distributed among stockholders according to the amount invested. The individual portions of the profits are called dividends.
