有限公司適合什麼企業?

A limited Company can do any business except some professional or some specialised business that must be carried out with unlimited liability e.g. solicitors.

A limited company has a liability on capital issued. Apart from this, the shareholders have no further liability if the capital is fully paid by the shareholder. So it is easier to get an investor in inject capital to the company. The public could know the shareholding of each investor. The business is usually bigger than that of a partnership. Moreover, there should be an Annual General Meeting with the audited financial statements tabled for shareholders' approval as required under the Companies Ordinance.

A partnership has unlimited liability. Every partners are personally liable for all known and/or contingent liabilities incurred / crystallised even he has paid the capital as stated in the financial statement.
