What is a non-corporate company?

badpun on April 21, 2024 | | [–]

Company that's not a corporation. As per dictionary:

- company: a commercial business.

- corporation: a large company or group of companies authorized to act as a single entity and recognized as such in law.

State-owned companies or worker-owned coops come to mind.
