First and foremost benefit of doing business via company or Limited Liability is the limited liability conferred upon the company's directors and shareholders and Partners in Case of LLP. As a sole trader or partnership business, personal assets of the proprietor or partners can be at risk in the event of a failure of the business, but this is not the case for a Company. The unfortunate events like business failures are not always under an entrepreneur's control; hence it is pivotal to secure the personal assets of the businessman in the event of crises. Unlike proprietorship and partnership, if a Company or LLP becomes insolvent and is wound up, only the assets of the company or LLP are used to clear its debts. The Directors or Shareholders of the company and Partners of LLP have no personal liabilities and are not made bankrupt and are free to carry on business.
A company and a LLP is a legal entity, a juristic person established under their Respective Act. It has its existence separate from its directors and members and Partners in case of LLP.
A Company and LLP has perpetual succession. It is a popular saying that the directors may come and go the members may come and go, but the existence of a company remains forever. A company once incorporated remains alive unless and until it is wound up by complying with the provisions of Law. The death, disability or retirement of any of its members does not affect the continuity of the company, irrespective of change in its membership. There is no obligation for a Private limited company to commence business/trading within any set time period after its incorporation.
