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.

What are most companies offering these days for medical care?
Q. My company has gone from offering a good medical plan THIS year to one with either a $1500 deductable or one with a $3000 deductable. Both options stink. Are other companies doing this? AND is there a legal requirement for companies to offer medical coverage of any kind? What level of coverage is required?

A. Employers are not required to offer any type of insurance. Unfortunately, premiums have skyrocketed which forced employers to offer high deductible medical plans to help reduce the cost of premiums. In CA employer's are required to contribute 50% of a "core" plan (ususally a high deductible plan) but will allow a richer benefit for those employees who are willing to pay the difference. It is unusual; however, for an employer to only offer a high ded. plan without providing a richer plan option. Example: Core Plan Insurance Co A HMO 1500 ($1500 ded, 10% coinsurance) Buy-Up Insurance Co. A HMO 10 ($0 Ded, benefits paid 100%) Employer pays 50% of the employee only rate for Insurance Co. A's HMO 1500 (at $150 for a 29 yo single employee) [cont.]

A. I've never seen any statistics, but I can tell you from my own history that advertising agencies come and go all the time. Sometimes, all it takes is losing one major piece of business or a change in marketing directors. I'd be interested in seeing any statistics if and when you receive any. Good luck with your question.

Do public companies have to include a letter to shareholder in their annual report?
Q. I want to know what the CEOs of public companies are saying to their shareholders. I know that public companies are obligated to file the 10-K, but not all of them have to have glossy annual reports. I wanted to know if the CEOs have to write a letter to shareholders, or is that optional ?

A. I'm almost certain that only those Annual Reports are necessary; however; most CEOs include a letter to all shareholders.
