Generally speaking, a close corporation cannot have more than a particular number of shareholders--between 30 and 35 is the limit in most states. A close corporation cannot make a public offering of its stock.
Close corporation (CC) A CC is similar to a private company. It is a legal entity with its own legal personality and perpetual succession and must register as a taxpayer in its own right. A CC has no share capital and therefore no shareholders. The owners of a CC are the members of the CC.
