Tony and Suzie graduate from college in May 2018 and begin
developing their new business. They begin by offering clinics for
basic outdoor activities such as mountain biking or kayaking. Upon
developing a customer base, they’ll hold their first adventure
races. These races will involve four-person teams that race from
one checkpoint to the next using a combination of kayaking,
mountain biking, orienteering, and trail running. In the long run,
they plan to sell outdoor gear and develop a ropes course for
outdoor enthusiasts.
On July 1, 2018, Tony and Suzie organize their new company as a
corporation, Great Adventures Inc. The articles of incorporation
state that the corporation will sell 20,000 shares of common stock
for $1 each. Each share of stock represents a unit of ownership.
