A corporation is a legal business form that is dominating over capital world. Most of the biggest businesses in the world are working under corporation form. Capital raising, transferring of shares, mergers & acquisitions all that and much more accessible in corporation form. Without corporations investment market and whole financial markets would look completely different. 

The most important characteristic of the corporations is limited liability. Limited liability means shareowners of the corporation risk only their capital that was invested in the company and nothing more material. Life of the corporation is not limited but corporations still can be liquidated or go bankrupt.
