Corporation:
A corporation is a separate legal entity which is separate from its owners. It is an artificial body and continues to exist even after the death of its owners where in such case the ownership is transferred. The owners are separate from the legal body and hence they are not liable for any obligation of the corporation individually. Similarly, the corporation is also not liable for any of the personal obligations of its owners.
