A company is a formally registered business organization that exists as a separate legal entity from its owners or shareholders. It can enter into contracts, own property, and be liable for debts. Common types include private limited companies, public limited companies, and limited liability partnerships. Companies have defined structures—typically comprising directors, shareholders, and employees—and follow governance regulations. They function across various industries and scales, from small businesses to multinational conglomerates. Key metrics of company success include revenue, market share, and profitability.
