Generally, a company is a form of business organization. The precise definition varies.

In the United States, a company is a corporation—or, less commonly, an association, partnership, or union—that carries on an industrial enterprise." Generally, a company may be a "corporation, partnership, association, joint-stock company, trust, fund, or organized group of persons, whether incorporated or not, and (in an official capacity) any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, or similar official, or liquidating agent, for any of the foregoing."

In English law, and therefore in the Commonwealth realms, a company is a form of body corporate or corporation, generally registered under the Companies Acts or similar legislation. It does not include a partnership or any other unincorporated group of persons.

A. ok...the person above gave you allibaba.com. Thats only a good website for Chinese junk. If you are looking for NAME brand products, you have to go through a distributor. All manufacturers give their products to distributors. The distributors do the job of selling it at wholesale prices to the retail stores. What you need is a retail license, a business license, and maybe a resale license. Here are some distributors. A distributor can carry hundreds of products from different companies. You have to apply and get accepted. You will most likely when you get all the licenses required. These distributors can have tons of electronics, Linksys, NETGER, APPLE, and more https://www.dandh.com/v4/ view?pageReq=dhmainns I have… [cont.]

A. Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin Atlantic and various other businesses, recently visited Canada and praised their banking system for having been responsible in its more cautious approach to investments. It has left the Canadian economy in much better shape than in the US (though the US Auto industry and the drop in oil demand are having an effect there) - the banks in the US should have been allowed to sink. A system based on loaning money you don't have to people who can't possibly pay it back is foolishness. Bailing that system out is equally foolish and places the burden on everyone else. What have the bank mangers learned? They learned that it does not matter what they do, they will still be rich and the "government" will bail them… [cont.]

What types of companies are known for putting aside human rights because of the bottom line?
Q. For example oil companies will drive the local population to get oil. Another many clothing companies will have sweat shops because of the bottom line. Are there any more types of companies that turn there head to human rights just to make a profit?

A. HA! There are hundreds of companies eager to make a quick couple dollars starting with Starbucks, McDonald's and Dell. If the businesses had their way, they would sap peoples wallets and not give them anything at all or generic stuff that breaks. Also, everybody wants cheap labor, or free labor. on the other hand, everybody wants some source of income. Do the math. All businesses are thieves, but they do it in a legal way. That's the bottom line. Human rights are just words on paper on a wall saying blah blah blah, and they know it. Greed is the weapon of mass destruction.
