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.

Where do companies get tasteless caffeine for beverages. How do water joe and other caffeine waters do this?
Q. These companies are able to make caffeinated water with a lot of caffeine that would usually make them very bitter. What process do they use, or what company do they outsource to to get this accomplished? I am looking for actual company names, or an actual tasteless caffeine powder. When beverage companies make their drinks, they use powder additives. So, when Water Joe is making their caffeinated water, they use some sort of caffeine powder and add it to the water, and its either tasteless, or they treat their solution afterwards to make it tasteless. So that's what I mean by tasteless powder for beverages.

A. Caffeine is not tasteless, it's actually very bitter. To hide the taste they (1) use very little (12-45mg on average) and (2) use sweeteners. Also, pure caffeine is dangerous. It can kill if you ingest around 10 grams in a day. That's almost impossible to do with drinks (80 cups of coffee or 240 cans of Coke), but easy to do with powders. It's available online in 100 gram batches. I don't give out the link because, if you kill yourself with too much, I won't be responsible.

How come companies buy smaller companies for a price well above the stock price?
Q. How come companies agree to deals where they buy an openly traded company for an agreed upon amount per share way above what the stock is currently trading at? Why don;t they just buy all the shares on the open market?
Asked by john g - Tue Jun 3 07:11:33 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Because there are only a few hundred (or maybe a few thousand) shares at a time being traded at the price you see. No where near enough to get a controlling interest. If they started buying on the open market, they would gobble up all the shares available at that price and then the price would start to rise. How high would it rise as buying continues? Nobody knows! So the think they are better off negotiating a set premium over market and then they know what it's going to cost them.

What is giving money to badly run companies and penalising the well run companies by giving them nothing about?

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.]
