‘Limited company offer flexibility. Capital and enterprise can be brought together”. Anyone can tell me the meaning of this sentence ?
Before the development of limited liability companies,shareholders were exposed to risk that their personal assets could be used to cover the liabilities of an enterprise in which they invested.This led to individuals being reluctant to invest unless they were involved in management of enterprise and thought there was little risk to enterprise in question.With development of limited liability companies potential shareholders could limit potential liability to unpaid share capital on shares they owned in a business.
