| has gloss | (noun) the liability of a firm's owners for no more than the capital they have invested in the firm limited liability |
| has gloss | eng: Limited liability is a concept whereby a persons financial liability is limited to a fixed sum, most commonly the value of a persons investment in a company or partnership with limited liability. In other words, if a company with limited liability is sued, then the plaintiffs are suing the company, not its owners or investors. A shareholder in a limited company is not personally liable for any of the debts of the company, other than for the value of his investment in that company. This usually takes the form of that person's dividends in the company being zero, since the company has no profits to allocate. The same is true for the members of a limited liability partnership and the limited partners in a limited partnership. By contrast, sole proprietors and partners in general partnerships are each liable for all the debts of the business (unlimited liability). |
