- "I wish you'd take things like this more seriously, so that I don't see my company destroyed."
"So it's your company now?"
"It's always been my company." - ―Harold Meachum and Ward Meachum[src]
Rand Enterprises is an international corporation, headquartered in New York City. Founded by Wendell Rand, the company flourished under Rand and his partner Harold Meachum's leadership. In 2001, Meachum engineered an airplane accident which claimed the lives of Rand and his wife, and led to their son Danny Rand being declared legally dead; with Rand's death, the company subsequently fell under the sole leadership of Meachum.
In 2004, Meachum died of cancer and his son Ward Meachum officially took over, although Harold, who had been resurrected by the Hand, continued to lead the company from the shadows. After Danny Rand returned to New York in 2016, he was granted his rightful position as majority shareholder, although his decision to place morality over profits caused the board to terminate his employment, firing Ward and Joy Meachum as well.
Following the assassination of board member Lawrence Wilkins, slated to be the company's new leader, Rand Enterprises had the three reinstated in order to salvage their public image. After the death of Bakuto, Harold decided to reveal his existence in order to officially reclaim the title of CEO; however, Ward took over the position after he killed his father in order to save Rand's life.
