There's a bug here if -own*- is missing. 
Then the sort order is not what you want. 
Here is version #2: 

reshape long own type , i(firm)
replace own = 0 if own == . 
* !!! replace 4 as appropriate by #owners + 1
bysort firm (own) : gen rank  = 4 - _n
keep firm own type rank
reshape wide own type , i(firm) j(rank)
