Company
This is not about being lonely.
Legally, a company, acting as a corporation, is…a business. It can be structured as a sole proprietor, partnership, S corporation or C corporation. The term, technically, reflects a gathering of a bunch of people.
Like…a theatrical group is called a company. And notionally, this gathering of people come together to act for the completion of a common goal.
