Limited Liability: Shareholders are only liable for the company's debts up to the face value of their shares, protecting personal assets.
Access to Capital: Easier to raise funds through selling shares, attracting investors, or obtaining loans.
Perpetual Existence: The business continues to operate regardless of changes in ownership or death of members.
Tax Benefits: Potential for lower corporate tax rates and tax-efficient structures for income.
Cons
High Setup & Compliance Costs: Expensive to incorporate and requires strict regulatory compliance, audits, and filing fees.
Public Disclosure: Financial records and ownership details are often public, limiting privacy.
Double Taxation: Profits can be taxed at the corporate level, and dividends are taxed again on personal income.
Rigid Formalities: Strict, time-consuming requirements for annual meetings, documentation, and operational protocols.
