In terms of legal status, a limited company can own assets and sign a contract. It is a body corporate and has an independent legal status; an unlimited company can only jointly own assets and sign contracts in the name of the proprietor's private name or partners, and has no legal status. In terms of debt liability, the shareholders of a limited company are limited to the amount of their capital contribution to the company’s debt. Once the company is insolvent, the company only needs to wind up without involving the personal property of the shareholders; unlimited companies must bear unlimited liability for the company ’s debt If the debt is not repaid at the time of closing, the proprietor must use his private property to repay the company ’s debt. In terms of tax arrangements, a limited company must stipulate annual audits by independent accountants and submit its audit report to the tax bureau in accordance with the company law.
