Taken from our Series 24 Online Guide

4.1.3.1. Corporations

Issuers of securities can take several forms. The most common form of issuer is the corporation. A corporation is a separate legal entity apart from its ownership. It has the following specific characteristics:

• Limited liability for its owners

• Easily transferable assets

• A perpetual existence beyond the life of its ownership

• A centralized management

To be chartered as a corporation, an issuer must meet three of these four characteristics.

1. 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.

TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying?

I was very apprehensive about the Series 24 exam prior to taking it. Everyone I knew who had taken it informed me that it was an incredibly difficult test, with questions that were meant to trick you. After following Solomon's six week study outline and making flashcards for my weakest areas, I was averaging in the high 80s on the Solomon practice exams. That gave me the confidence I needed to walk into the test center feeling prepared, and the knowledge I needed to walk out of the test center having scored an 88. I am now recommending the Solomon Series 24 materials to everyone at the office!

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.

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.

I wanted to let you know I passed the exam [Series 24] this morning! The practice exams were invaluable. Thank you for your extra help and suggestions. I have recommended this to two of my co-workers who will be taking the Series 7 this year. I will say, the 24 was worded so tricky. And so much irrelevant info put into the questions. I had to write down pieces of the question to get the gist of what it was asking. Very purposfully confusing. But it's over and I'm thankful for your product. Thx again

I passed the Series 24 on the first try with an 80%! This was the highest of all of my Series exam scores and I attribute much of my success to Solomon's amazing study materials. The practice exams are spot-on and the video lectures were a great supplement to the readings. I suggest following the study schedule Solomon provides for a successful outcome!

Studying for the 24 was not easy. I felt Solomon's course materials and online portal prepared me well for passing the exam in the first try. The study material was NOT overwhelmingly thrown together and I found the study program to be manageable and focused. Got me through the study period of about 4-5 weeks. I would recommend Solomon over the other courses.
