The character of a corporation as public or private is determined by the terms of its charter and the general law under which it was organized, not upon the character of its stockholders or the number of persons engaged in the enterprise. Macon County Tel. Co. v Bethany Mut. Tel. Asso. 270 I11 183, 110 NE 334. [2]
1. An entity made up of individuals to which the government has granted a charter, so that it may have a legal existence separate from those individuals for the purpose of carrying on a private purpose (EXAMPLE: operating a business; operating a charity) under its own name.
Compare public corporation. See corporation. See also business corporation; nonprofit corporation.
2. A close corporation or other privately held corporation, as distinguished from a corporation whose stock is traded on a stock exchange. [3]
