A minor does not have the capacity to be an agent of a corporation. This is 
why many companies will require that when a minor receives or requests a 
service such your example of renting movies a parent's name is on the 
account as they are actually liable for the incurred fees or fines.

ah but if he incorporates then it is the corporation entering into the 
contract, not him, and a minor can enter intoa contract as an a- hehgent of 
a company. otherwise when you didnt return your movies to blockbuster on 
time you could say oh we dont have a valid contract. I would say ncorporate 
and list another person as swell as him as owner and management of the 
company, and then once he turns 18 they can just hand oer total owenership 
to him. He could even say they only owned like 5% of the company if he was 
worried about themt rying to take control of the cmpany.
