133. Most corporations first raise money by selling stock to the founders of the business and their friends and family. As the equity financing needs
of the corporation grow, companies prepare a business plan and seek outside investment from "angel" investors and venture capital firms. Angel
investors are wealthy individuals in the business community willing to risk investment funds on a promising business venture. Venture capital
firms provide additional financing, often in the millions, for a percentage ownership in the company. Many venture capital firms look to invest in
promising companies to which they can add value through business contacts, financial expertise, or marketing channels. Most corporations do not
consider issuing stock to the general public (going public) until their equity financing needs exceed $20 million.
134. A corporation offers three primary advantages over sole-proprietorships and partnerships. These are (1) limited liability, (2) ability to raise
capital, and (3) lack of mutual agency. Because of limited liability, even in the event of bankruptcy, stockholders in a corporation can lose no more
than the amount they invested in the company. Because corporations sell ownership interest in the form of shares of stock, ownership rights are easily
transferred. An investor can sell his or her ownership interest (shares of stock) at any time and without affecting the structure of the corporation or its
operations. Finally, a lack of mutual agency means that individual stockholders cannot legally bind the corporation to a contract.
A corporation has two primary disadvantages relative to sole-proprietorships and partnerships. These are (1) additional taxes and (2) more paperwork.
Corporations have double taxation. Corporate income is taxed once on earnings at the corporate level, and again on dividends at the individual level.
Corporations also have more paperwork as federal and state governments impose extensive reporting requirements on the company.
135. Authorized stock is the total number of shares available to sell, stated in the company's articles of incorporation. Issued stock is the number of
shares that have been sold to investors. A company usually does not issue all its authorized stock. Outstanding stock is the number of shares held by
