2. Separate Property/ Separate Legal Entity

The separate legal entity feature gives your company to keep yourself and the company at length recognizing its own separate identity. It can sue and be sued in its own name, i.e. company name. There is a separation of management and ownership. Thus, the managers are responsible and answerable for the company's loss.

3. Perpetual Succession

A public limited company has a perpetual succession, which means it has a continued or uninterrupted existence until it is legally dissolved. Members may come and go company goes on forever. The death of the founders, directors or members does not affect its existence.

4. Free and easy transferability of shares

Shares of a company limited by shares are transferable by a shareholder to any other person.
