People create corporations because they want the corporation to be liable rather than the individuals that make it up. If they wanted the individuals to be liable, they would do business as a partnership. If they wanted a portion of the company to be liable rather than the whole, they would create a subsidiary corporation. _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
