equityUsually people own corporate equity. However, corporations are treated as legal persons. Then, it should be possible for a corporation to own shares of its equity. Then, in theory, the will of a corporation can be voiced by everyone in the company, and the corporate share can be distributed evenly to everyone therein by dividend.
Is it possible for a company to own some shares of its equity?
There’s a special legal structure for this in some countries, e.g. a Scop in France.
When not, you can achieve the same result by having a separate non-profit entity that owns the company and represents everyone within it.
