Company n. any formal business entity for profit which may be a corporation, a partnership, association or individual proprietorship. Often people think the term "company" means the business is incorporated, but that is not true. In fact, a corporation usually must use some term in its name such as "corporation," "incorporated," "corp." or "inc." to show it is a corporation."
And INDIVIDUAL, Scott has already covered in recent articles. Reading all of that, MOTIONS sound like a really BAD idea. :p
