This is one where the jury is still out.  I am skeptical of anything that is done for profit.  Watch or read "The Corporation" and you will understand what I mean.  Corporations are psychopathic in nature and fit the DSM-IV clinical guidelines for psychopathic behavior.  Basically, they care nothing about you and only about the bottom dollar.  That is why we have lawsuits that come out years later, when the company knew the dangers all along, i.e. smoking, teflon, aspartame, etc.  I am on the side that would doubt they are safe, and I prefer not to be a human guinea pig.  So, it really depends on your situation and how desperate you are.

I am sorry, I tried a lot but dint get any answer.\n\nBut good site for company info is:\nwww.hoovers.com\n\nAlso try to look for your country's stock exchanges websites and search details about listed companies. This way you can get detailed info about listed companies atleast. For unlisted companies, you need to surf search engines. Else look for databases prepared by private players; like in India it is done by an agency called CMIE through its software titled 'Prowess'. \n\nGood luck!!!

You can buy a corporation in many different ways.  \n\nThe simplest way to explain this is to build up the amount of stock you own of that company, if it is publicly offering stock.  After you own more than 50% of the stock of the company, usually you will be able to make all of the decisions of the company.  Thus, you have bought the corporation.\n\nAlso, you can be another corporation that offers a deal to the corporation you want to "buy" by offering a merger.  This way, your company will merge with the other company at their own will.  The two corporations are normally friendly to one another.  You haven't really bought the other corporation, but the two corporations are now working as one.\n\nYou can also have a friendly takeover.  This is when another company actually buys a lot of a corporation's stock, but this buying is agreed upon.  After a while, one company owns the other.\n\nThere's another way of buying a corporation which is called a hostile takeover.  Basically, you and others from one corporation decide to buy stock from another corporation.  After you own a large amount of stock of the other corporation, you have a large say over what the company does (even if you don't have over 50% of the corporation's stock), even if the company doesn't like it.  One thing you can do is called "greenmail".  Basically, you tell the other company that you won't try to buy them, but what you do is sell the stock you have of their company at a very high price back to them, so you get profit from buying and selling their stock.  Normally, companies can be so fearful that another company is going to buy them that they'll pay you the higher price of stock you are selling back.\n\nHowever, there are tons of strategies for preventing hostile takeovers, and some people dedicate their careers to this sort of job.\n\nNow to answer your subquestions.  It isn't really possible to research everything about a corporation, and some corporations try to be more transparent than others (that is, they tell you more about their thoughts and debts and so on).  And a corporation that isn't registered as such is no longer a corporation.

Generally, there is no "requirement" to be a corporation, but corporations (in addition to LLCs) are nice for liability limitation.\n\nCorporations are reasonably cheap to form.  A nice neighborhood type lawyer will probably do the entire incorporation for you for few hundred dollars plus filing fees - including getting your EIN number, any sales tax registrations, and possibly filing your S-Corporation election (so that your corporation avoids "double-tax").   If you're not incorporating in NY but you're doing business there, you'll also want to consider "qualifying" your corporation to do business in NY.   Again, that is simple stuff that can be handled by a neighborhood lawyer.\n\nGood luck.

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.

How about the websites of each of the companies you just mentioned.  Try investor relations, and/or checking out their press releases.

You need to keep in mind that corporations are people like you and me. There are good and bad in us all, and thus in all corporations. The same can be said for governments. On the positive side, we are the first generation to have the freedom and access to communicate with others around the world in formats like this which makes it much harder for oppression and tyranny to arise

You need to know the state that they're registered in.  Then look on that state's Secretary of State's website for corporation database. For example, here's New York:\n\nhttp://appsext5.dos.state.ny.us/corp_public/corpsearch.entity_search_entry\n\nScroll down and search for the name of the company.
