why a limited company

• Why limited by shares?
  - To minimize one's investment liability
  Your liability as a shareholder in the vested company is limited to the amount you have paid for your shares.
  - To separate from one's personal assets
  Your other personal assets and investments are protected from your investment into a company because they are treated separately by the said limitation.
