A joint-stock company is an organization that carries out entrepreneurial activities on a commercial basis. A distinctive feature of a joint stock company is that its authorized capital is divided into a certain number of shares, which certify the rights of their owners in relation to this company. Joint-stock companies are closed (less than 50 members) or open (the number of members is not limited).
