Companies start life just like any other life, it is an idea which is conceived, and the formatters plan the company structure, the responsibilities of all of the directors and the duties and responsibilities of all of the company officer during the life of the company. In essence, it is like having a baby and delivering it. Company or corporation law is the law concerning the creation and regulation of companies. A company is an artificial person and therefore has all the rights and responsibilities of a person, the company can own property, sign contracts, sue and be sued.
