Organizations can take various legal forms depending on their purpose. The document discusses different types of organizations including sole proprietorships, partnerships, cooperatives, limited liability companies, and both private and public companies. A sole proprietorship is owned and run by an individual, while partnerships involve a group carrying on business together with joint responsibility. Cooperatives and limited liability companies provide ownership flexibility and limited liability. Private companies are limited by shares and prohibit public investment, while public companies must meet higher capital requirements but can offer shares to the public.

There are principles that are fundamental to the concept of a limited liability
company
• The company has corporate legal identity, that is, it is a legal person, completely
separate from the people who work in it or the people who own it.
• The ownership of the company is divided into a number of shares. These shares can
be bought and sold individually. The people who own these shares are known as the
members of the company or shareholders.

company have no obligation to pay these. The most that shareholders stand to lose is
the money they paid for their shares.
