This means that it is the company that enters into a business transaction and is responsible for the outcome – not the shareholders and/or company officers. In case of a lawsuit or judgment against your business, no one can seize your personal assets, your home, cash, bank accounts etc. As a shareholder of the company, your exposure to loss is limited to the amount of your issued and paid-up capital in the company. 私人有限公司是经营业务的法人实体。这意味着参与商业交易并对交易结果负责的是公司,而不是股东和/或公司管理人员。一旦你的公司被起诉或判决,没有人可以没收你的个人资产、房子、现金、银行账户等。作为公司股东,你在公司的风险敞口仅限于你在公司的已发行和实收资本。
