A corporation can be an enterprise, but an enterprise is not necessarily a corporation.  An enterprise is any big project, usually business related and usually for profit.  A corporation is a group of people acting on behalf of a business.

A corporation is a legal entity (distinct from a natural person) that often has similar rights in law to those of a natural person. Civil law systems may refer to corporations as "moral persons"; they may also go by the name "AS" (anonymous society) or something similar, depending on language (see below).\n\nIn colloquial usage, "corporation" usually refers to a commercial entity set up in accordance with a governmental framework. Churches (mainly in US, but not so much in other countries, where Churches have a different status), interest groups (both can form as not-for-profit corporations or can exist as voluntary associations), cities and townships (often chartered as public corporations), among others, may also have historically lengthy corporate identities.

Sec 4 of the Companies Act, 1956 defines holding and subsidiary company. With reference to this, holding company is the one which acquires controlling interest in another company by - (1) acquiring more than 50% of equity capital, (2) having such powers which enables it to appoint or remove majority directors on other company's board, or (3) acquiring holding company of another company through one of the two modes above.\n\nHence holding company is the controlling company whereas subsidiary company is the controlled company. But legally both are seperate entities and in practical may just operate seperately even in different lines of business.\n\nPeople are not even aware many a times which company is subsidiary of which company.

Public corporations are owned by shareholders.  You can find out the largest shareholders on Yahoo Finance.  Corporations are organized in an individual state.  For private corporations, you can check the corporation's website or a site like Hoover's for the state of organization.  Once you know the state, call that state's secretary of state's office to get information on the corporation's ownership.

1.      In accounting it is the concept of seprate entity. It means business is the separate entity and the owner is a seprate entity regardless how small or large is the business.\n2.      When that concept is clear then think that business firm is an artificial person as like you are or any common man.\n3.      As you have to pay and receive money regardless you have received or paid to your mother. In the same way the firm has to pay the amount that you have invested in it as an owner.\n\nSo, the amount the firm has to pay is a credit so owner's capital is also a credit that the firm has to pay to the owner.\nBut it is showed under owner's equity cap.

A special purpose entity is a company that is created by a parent company, usually to carry out a specific, limited purpose, such as the securitization of a set of assets.  An SPE may be set up as a corporation, partnership, LLC, or trust.  Enron created lots and lots of SPEs.  As long as Enron technically controlled no more than 50% of an SPE, Enron was not required by accounting rules to consolidate the SPE’s assets and liabilities, so any debts belonged to the SPE and did not show up on Enron’s books.  The simplest way Enron hid debt in the SPEs was by selling assets to the SPEs, which had borrowed money in order to purchase the assets.  The problem was that Enron was liable to repay the loans taken out by the SPEs.  So, basically, Enron was making a sale to itself, showing a profit on its books, and hiding the corresponding loss in the SPE.  These false profits (sorry) covered up Enron’s actual business losses.

"enterprise" refers to something that a medium or large company can use and not waste time using it. That is it was made specifically for use by a large company.\n\nFor example a small business solution to time cards might be to have the 5 employees email a spreadsheet of their time each month which gets printed out and entered. \n\nWhile an enterprise solution would be to use a computerized time clock that enters the data automatically and allows the manager to pull up reports and such (added benefits of doing it wisely).

1.  Tax treatment -- While both entities are pass-through on the federal level (i.e., taxed as a partnership), states tax S corps' and LLCs differently.  \n\n2.  Structure -- The advantage of an S-corp. is its easy and people are familiar with the corporate structure -- shareholders, board, management, etc.  However, S corp's can only have 1 class of stock, which limits their usefulness if you want to differentiate between types of owners.  LLCs require an operating agreement that takes some thought and care, but allow for different classes of membership interests that can have different economic and control rights -- that is why LLCs are favored for real estate partnerships or other ventures where you want to distinguish between passive and active members or want to structure a promote or carry.\n\n3.  Who can own an LLC or S-Corp.  S-corp's can't be owned by foreign persons or another company.  LLCs can.\n\n4.  Licensure issues.  Certain businesses may not be run as LLCs because LLCs can not get the required licenses.  \n\nGenerally, if you have a simple business with a couple of partners who share equally in management and ownership, S-corps are a good easy alternative.  If you have complexity in your underlying business arrangements or non-US person partners, then an LLC is a good way to go.

Nothing really. It is just an entity ending. When you file with your state you will file as a corporation. The different business entities would be a corporation, a limited liability company or a partnership ( general, or limited partnership)You would be best to call the Corporation Commission in your state.

An incorporated business is one that has registered with a state to be separate, for taxes and other reasons, from the people owning it.  The business becomes a legal entity, like a person, it pays taxes on it's own tax return and must follow corporate law.  A question of where means which state it registered with because corporations don't actually live anywhere.  Unincorporated is a company or partnership business (like Mike's Plumbing, or Richards and Sons Grocery) that the owners didn't separate themselves from the business by incorporating.  They add the income and expenses onto their own 1040 Tax return usually Schedule C. (Exception: A partnership business between people not sharing the same 1040 uses a different form.)

I have never heard of such a thing. Sole Proprietorship is a business owned directly by the individual. The business has no entity of itself, all debts of the business are debts of the owner an dall assets of the business are assets of the owner. All taxes are individual taxes of teh owner.\n\nA partnership is a business owned by two or more individuals. The business may or may not be its own entity depending on how it is organized.
