Business personification is the status conferred on companies by law which allows them to have rights and responsibilities similar to those of a natural person. There is an important debate about which parts of the rights granted to citizens should also be granted to companies as legal persons. By personifying the company, the law removes the responsibility of the decision-makers and the administrators of the company.

The United States Supreme Court (Dartmouth College v. Woodward, 1819) recognized for corporations the same rights as individuals to contract and enforce contracts. In the Santa Clara County case against Southern Pacific Railroad (1886), an insertion in the opening notes of the decision by the Registrar, JC Bancroft Davis, led many to believe that the Supreme Court had recognized the companies as persons about the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution.
