corporation (aggregate)

corporation (aggregate)
a group of persons who are deemed in law to be a single legal entity. The corporate entity is legally distinct from its members; it has legal personality and can hold property, sue and be sued in its own name as if it were a natural person.
In the USA, corporation is a plain term for all incorporated bodies. The legal form is the same whether or not the body trades for profit and whether or not it is public or close (like a family company). See company.
