Define company.

Solution
  • The company comes from a Latin word 'Companies' which stands for taking food together in a gathering.
  • In ancient times businessmen used to discuss all of their business matters while taking their food together.
  • In modern times the meaning of company is different. Few people come together and form a company according to law.
  • A company is a different entity from its members. In a company, capital comes from several people, thus, it is known as a joint stock company.
  • The people who invest in a company are its members.
  • A company runs a business as an independent entity, it is responsible for all of its liabilities, that is why a company is considered as an artificial person created by law.
