What is a Corporation

A corporation is a legal person.

It is separate from those who own it.

It is generally separate from those who manage it.

Therefore, when one's business corporation is sued, there are provisions in the law to protect owners (shareholders) and officers of that business corporation from personal liability (i.e. loss of one's personal home, car, bank accounts, etc.).
