The concept of limited liability is a confirmation that a corporation's assets are liabilities are distinct from those of shareholders. The concepts safeguard the shareholder's private properties should a business fail to meet its obligations.
Limited liability states that the liabilities of a shareholder is limited to the extent of his capital contribution. If the event of a dissolution, a shareholder's losses are capped to the share contribution. Their personal properties cannot be used to pay business debts should the business's assets be inadequate.
