Janice Kellogg decided to quit her full-time job and turn her ceramic hobby into a retail business. She developed a plan to rent space in a shopping center and operate Hobby Shack six days a week. Hobby Shack would sell a wide variety of art and hobby supplies to individuals, schools, and businesses. Janice planned to expand the merchandise she offers, rent store and office equipment, and employ other individuals to work in the store. However, Janice did not personally have the capital to implement her plan. But with the help of a small group of investors, Janice formed a corporation called Hobby Shack, Inc. Each stockholder received a number of shares of stock based on the amount invested.
Unlike a proprietorship, a corporation exists independent of its owners. Janice expects the Hobby Shack to continue beyond her lifetime and plans to give her shares of stock to her children.
