Ok kiddo, so you know how you have to follow certain rules at school? Like raising your hand to talk and staying in your seat? Well, businesses also have to follow certain rules called laws.
In the US, there are laws specifically for businesses called corporate laws. These laws tell businesses what they can and can't do, and how they have to do things like keep track of their money and make decisions.
One important thing to know is that when a business is a corporation, it's considered its own separate "person" in the eyes of the law. That means it can do things like own property and sign contracts, just like a person can.
Corporate laws also require businesses to have certain people called directors and officers who are in charge of making decisions for the company. These people are responsible for making sure the company follows the rules and makes good choices to keep everyone safe and happy.
If a business breaks the corporate laws, it can get in trouble and may have to pay a fine or even go out of business. So it's important for businesses to follow the rules so they can keep running smoothly and everyone can be happy and successful.
