Company Incorporation
The corporation is a distinct legal entity (legally a person), separate from its shareholders (owners), directors and officers. Corporations possess many of the same rights and responsibilities as individuals. It may own real estate or other property in its name may be responsible for obligations and liabilities. The corporation may also enter into contracts and agreements. A few of the important benefits of setting up a corporation include limited liability, business name protection, tax planning opportunities, and flexible structures.
