Which advantage is associated with being a limited company?

Being a limited company offers the advantage of limited liability, which means that the financial responsibility of the owners (shareholders) is limited to the amount they have invested in the company. In the event that the business incurs debts or legal liabilities, the personal assets of the shareholders are typically protected, and creditors cannot pursue them for additional funds beyond their investment. This structure encourages investment and entrepreneurship, as individuals can take business risks without the fear of losing their personal wealth.

On the other hand, tax-exempt status is not typically associated with limited companies, as they are generally subject to corporate taxes. Likewise, complete operational control usually resides with shareholders or director(s), rather than being guaranteed for all owners, especially if there are multiple shareholders. Finally, guaranteed profits are unrealistic in any business model as they depend on various market conditions, demand, competition, and other factors affecting business operations.
