Hi,
Companies limited by shares
These types of companies are quite common in commercial, trading and industrial world. Such companies are characterised with an authorised share capital of a certain amount, which is divided into shares. The authorised share capital may comprise of more than one kind of shares, viz. ordinary or equity shares (voting and non-voting) and preference shares. The liability of each member of such company is limited to the unpaid amount of shares and premium, if any, held by him.
Companies with unlimited liability: Every member in such a company is jointly and severally liable for all the debts and liabilities of the company.
