A private corporation is a commercial enterprise that is owned privately. While it may issue stock, it does not offer these shares to the general public and is not listed on a public stock market. Shares issued by a private corporation to employees or investors are referred to as private company stock. It is not as straightforward to sell shares in a private firm as it is to sell stock in a public corporation. Employees and investors in public companies can sell company stock through a broker. Because private business stock indicates a position in a firm that is not publicly traded, the shareholder must locate a willing buyer. A private stock sale must also be approved by the firm that issued the shares. Some businesses may object to their stock being broadly circulated.
