To complete your business start-up and operations checklist as well as your business plan, you need to know what kind of body your business will wear. Why body? That’s what corporation means.

Incorporate—1398, “to put [something] into the body or substance of [something else],” from L.L. incorporatus, pp. of incorporare “unite into one body,” from L. in- “into” 1 corpus (gen. corporis) “body.” The legal sense first recorded in Rolls of Parliament, 1461.
