The incorporation process includes the writing of the articles of incorporation, indicating the shareholder(s) as well as the location and the name of the business. Incorporation enables your company to legally be distinct from the individual founders of the business. The company will form a separate legal entity dedicated to business transactions. The formed business entity or limited liability (Ltd) changes business appearance from the law and potential customer, shareholders, and management. Incorporation protects individuals’ assets against company liability and also enhances the easy transfer of ownership to other parties interested.

It is important to understand the benefits and shortcomings of investing in limited liability companies than other forms of business. For instance, a sole proprietor has to invest a lot of money to establish, launch, and daily run the business. The owner enjoys the profit alone and suffers all the losses incurred alone. It is the responsibility of the owner to look for finances and also cater for any debt in the business. As much as the sole proprietor enjoys the profit, he suffers all the expenses alone. However, when individuals opt to incorporate their business, they will share the losses and profit based on the amount invested by each party. In a limited liability company, one’s assets are not subjected to cater for the business debts and liability.
