Advantages/Benefits of Company Incorporation

The day-to-day activities of a company are looked at by the directors of the company. They are the ones responsible for making the decisions that are best in the interest of the company. Indeed, the Incorporation of the company creates a limited liability for the shareholders and the directors. The directors of the company are chosen annually. The number of directors depends upon the size of the company. The directors of the company do not have any personal liability toward the debts of the company.

Incorporation of the company also helps the management or the board of directors to take risks that can help in the growth without directly affecting the personal financial liability of the stockholders and the owners. Let us see the 10 advantages of company incorporation in detail.

Corporate Veil

Incorporation effectively creates a protective sphere of limited liability known as the Corporate Veil, which protects the interest of the company’s shareholders and directors. Thus, incorporated businesses can digest many risks that help in the growth of the company and business without exposing owners, removal of directors, and shareholders to many financial liabilities outside of their original investments in the company.

Corporate personality

The Incorporation of the company helps in setting up a legal entity of the firm irrespective and different from the legal entity of the stockholder, owners of the firm, which is different from the partnership firm.

Limited Liabilities

According to the Company Act Section 34(2), if a company is shut down, members are solely responsible for the liabilities but if the company is incorporated the members are legally bound to contribute with some nominal share held by the members and few other liabilities. It is one of the most important reasons why companies get incorporated.

Perpetual Succession

It is the continuation of the business organization despite the death of any owner, bankruptcy, insanity, transfer of shares to a new entity, etc. Thus, it provides immunity to the company. The company will work until the company gets shut down.

Transferable Shares

According to Companies Act Section 82, the shares and other interests of the members are transferable and are movable property. However, this provides liquidity to the investors and generates investment of funds in shares. Members can sell shares anytime either in the stock market or in an open market.

Separate Property

An incorporated company is denoted as a Legal entity, and it can hold its assets and funds. The property of the company is treated as separate property rather than the shareholder’s property. The company is treated as a real person who manages, controls and disposes of the property. Under the law, if the shareholders use the company’s property for their personal use, they are liable to be held for criminal misappropriation of the company’s funds.

Capacity to sue

An incorporated company is a legal entity and has the right to sue other people, and other people and companies can also sue it. However, some of the shareholders, such as Managing directors, and some board members are not liable to be sued in the name of the company.

Flexibility and Autonomy

An incorporated company has the autonomy and independence to form its own rules and policies and how it can implement these policies. However, these are subjected to Equity rules, General principles of law, and good conscience.

Enhances Business Credibility

Businesses that are incorporated go beyond finances. Incorporated businesses are perceived as more stable than unincorporated businesses. In short, having  ‘Inc. ‘ or  ‘ltd ‘ after the company name brings stability, permanence, and credibility.

Other considerations

Tax benefits are one of the significant reasons to get businesses incorporated. A corporation is taxed on its profit which is reduced by qualifying business expenses. An incorporated company may also deduct salaries, health benefits, etc. to meet their financial goals. Taxation of the corporation is a bit complex and has its advantages and disadvantages.
