What Is a Corporation?

A corporation is a type of U.S. business entity that is legally separate from its owners (called shareholders). Because the company is treated as its own legal “person,” it can enter into contracts, own assets, open bank accounts, and operate independently from the individuals behind it.

Corporations typically follow a more formal operating model than LLCs — with directors and officers, clearer decision-making records, and a defined ownership system through shares of stock. A Delaware corporation is also commonly used by startups and scaling businesses because issuing shares can make it easier to bring in co-founders, employees (through equity), or outside investors.
