Define the usefulness of a corporation in one sentence.

[=MGN=RedEagle]

Hi guys, I am doing some research. I wanted to think through some basic concepts and their impact on our everyday life. I need one sentence that defines the usefulness of a corporation to society.

My attempt:
Corporation are legal entities that empower multiple people to do business together as one legal person with some provisions as far as limited liability and shared risk.


Is that how you would say it?
