If a large company folds up, their innumerable customers may raise an uproar leading to the intervention of trade associations and the government.&nbsp. But if it is a small company with the limited liability of the shareholders and few customers, the customer has no wherewithal to protest.&nbsp. &nbsp.The customer is victimized. (Davidmann, Manfred, 2008) In the case of suppliers, the risk in dealing with companies with the limited liability of the shareholders is greater. Often suppliers supply with a credit. Since in most manufacturing enterprises, cost of materials forms a substantial part of the total cost, the supplier is at great risk, In the event of the company’s closure, suppliers are not likely to be paid and are likely to suffer a huge loss. At the time of insolvency in such companies, the employees lose the salary, benefits, and severance pay due to them. Most importantly, they lose their jobs, a source of their livelihood. The employees should assess the company with the limited liability of the shareholders before they choose the career with them. The shareholder’s risk is minimal. In the case of insolvency, the shares held by the shareholders would be nearly worthless. If the company’s share has some residual value in the market, the shareholder can redeem it just before insolvency is declared.
