Company in United States

Company Definition

An association of a number of individuals for the purpose of carrying on some legitimate business. This term is not synonymous with “partnership,” though every such unincorporated company is a partnership. Usage has reserved the term to associations whose members are in greater number, their- capital more considerable, and their enterprises greater, either on account of their risk or importance. When these companies are authorized by the government, they are known by the name of “corporations.” Sometimes the word is used to represent those members of a partnership whose names do not appear in the name of the firm. See 12 Toullier, Dr. Civ. 97.
