Series 24: Corporations

Taken from our Series 24 Online Guide

Corporations

Issuers of securities can take several forms. The most common form is the corporation. The word corporation comes from the Latin word corpus or body. The name suggests one of the key reasons the corporation is such a powerful and successful business structure. In sharp contrast to a sole proprietorship or partnership, a corporation is a separate legal entity apart from its ownership. Deemed by the courts a “legal person,” a corporation offers the following unique characteristics, which make it much easier than other entities to raise money and to work on long-term opportunities. The corporation provides (1) limited liability for its owners, (2) easily transferable assets, (3) a perpetual existence beyond the life of its ownership, and (4) a centralized management. To be chartered as a corporation, it must meet three of these four characteristics.

• Limited Liability. Owners can never be held liable for more than the amount of money they invested in the company. Their personal assets and other wealth are not at risk, if the corporation goes bust.
• Perpetual Life. Legal separation also allows for a

I passed the 24 with the help of the audio, book and test questions. I previously took this test and failed walking away with the thought nothing I studied looked familiar. I also didn't really understand how certain areas functioned... but found the information provided with Solomon worked best for me. The flow charts and extra resources section were extremely helpful in breaking down sections of this "Dry" test. The audio was great to review and the book format was easy to read and concise. I felt almost every question I knew what they were asking and I was able to eliminate one or two questions. Don't waste your money with other sites. Solomon will allow you to pass on the first time. Good luck!

I would just like to say that Solomon’s customer service was excellent. The material was clear and easy to understand and I feel that it prepared me extremely well for my exam. I found the study outline to be the most helpful in keeping me on track. I would definitely refer the material to anyone taking the Series 24. Thank you to the Solomon team for helping me pass my 24!

I took my Series 24 on July 28 and passed!! I had not passed 2 prior Series 24 exams and was down to my last attempt. A fellow principal on my team who had not passed his Series 24 his first time told me about the Solomon practice tests and how they helped him. It was such a big help for me passing exam as the questions were structured more like the real exam than any other practice tests I’ve taken. I have since gone to other employees at my firm for other tests, such as the Series 7, SIE among others and have told them about the Solomon test materials and some of them are now purchasing Solomon as well.

Recently passed the Series 24 Exam. I owe it to the Solomon Exam Prep series. The format of study and testing preparation was easy to follow and comprehend. I had taken the exam before and used study material through a different provider. It did not give me the sense of readiness in the "connection of the dots" and time-management like the Solomon series did. Such a relief to see the word PASS.

Thank you Solomon! I was able to pass the SIE, 7, 63 and 24 in a relatively short time period. The practice exams with answers really helped and when I had a question for The Professor, I always received a quick and accurate response. Solomon is definitely the way to go.

I watched the videos twice, took notes from them, and took hundreds of practice problems. The test simulator was the best part of the program. I found it helpful that you could go back and look at the questions you missed and use them to help refine what to study. I definitely would recommend the program. Get 85%+ on the practice and you should pass the 24.
