Τύποι επιχειρηματικών οντοτήτων

Μια **επιχειρηματική οντότητα** είναι η οντότητα που σχηματίζεται και διοικείται σύμφωνα με το εταιρικό δίκαιο, προκειμένου να συμμετάσχει σε επιχειρηματικές δραστηριότητες, φιλανθρωπικό έργο ή άλλες επιτρεπόμενες δραστηριότητες. Τις περισσότερες φορές, οι επιχειρηματικές οντότητες σχηματίζονται με σκοπό την πώληση προϊόντων και υπηρεσιών. Υπάρχουν πολλοί τύποι επιχειρηματικών φορέων που ορίζονται στα νομικά συστήματα των διαφόρων χωρών. Κατά τη δημιουργία ή την αναδιάρθρωση μιας επιχείρησης, οι νομικές ευθύνες εξαρτώνται από το είδος της επιχειρηματικής οντότητας που επιλέγεται.
