If a corporation is competitive enough to exist and outcompete other human corporations, then maybe it's not really self-owned, is it?
It's controlled by an synthetic consciousness that could be sentient and thus deserving of legal rights similar to the other sentient consciousnesses of biological origin.

Drop-ship all products, make sure it stays up to date on its bills. It wouldn't be very resilient, but it could feasibly just sit there accumulating money, no intelligence required.
