1, the difference in the number of shareholders: one-person limited liability company, just one shareholder; An ordinary limited company with 2-50 shareholders.
2. The difference between annual inspection: a one-person limited liability company must entrust an accounting firm to issue an audit report for the annual inspection; There are no special provisions for the annual inspection of ordinary limited companies, and there is no need to issue an audit report.
3. Difference in the number of companies to be established: A one-person limited liability company stipulates that a natural person can only establish one one-person limited liability company; Ordinary limited companies, shareholders can set up multiple limited companies.
4. The most important point: Article 64 of the Company Law If the shareholders of a one-person limited liability company cannot prove that the company's property is independent of the shareholders' own property, they shall be jointly and severally liable for the company's debts. That is to say, in the case that enterprise property and personal property cannot be distinguished, individuals bear unlimited joint and several liability for enterprise debts. Ordinary limited liability companies bear limited liability, with the amount of capital contribution as the standard.
Suppose a company loses money and is heavily in debt. I invested100000 before, and now I have lost 300000. However, a limited liability company, with a loss of100000 yuan, goes bankrupt directly, and generally does not hold shareholders accountable. One-man company, once it can't prove that the company's property is independent of the shareholders' own property, the shareholders will have to repay the remaining 200,000. One-person limited liability company has the final say, and it seems that it can "do whatever it wants"; However, in order to strictly limit the abuse of limited liability by shareholders of one-person limited liability company, the company law puts forward higher requirements for one-person limited liability company.
Extended data:
The difference between big shareholders and small shareholders:
The difference between major shareholders and minor shareholders lies in different voting rights, different market influence, different trading regulations and so on.
From the perspective of voting rights, according to the provisions of the Company Law, when shareholders attend the shareholders' meeting, each share they hold has one vote. Therefore, small shareholders hold a small proportion of shares, and the number of voting rights is small. However, with a large proportion of shares held by major shareholders, there are more voting rights.
From the perspective of market influence, if a listed company has a major shareholder to increase its holdings, it will attract the attention of market investors, which is likely to lead to a rise in stock prices. On the other hand, if listed companies have major shareholders to reduce their holdings, it will also lead to the selling of market investors, which is likely to lead to a decline in stock prices. However, due to the small proportion of minority shareholders in listed companies, there is basically no such influence.
Judging from the buying and selling regulations. According to the provisions of the Securities Law, directors, supervisors, senior managers and major shareholders holding more than 5% of the shares of a listed company sell their shares within six months after the purchase, or buy them again within six months after the sale, and the proceeds shall be owned by the company, and the board of directors of the company shall recover the proceeds. Therefore, the time limit for senior executives of listed companies to increase their holdings is 6 months, starting from the last transaction.
Moreover, the major shareholders holding more than 5% of the shares of listed companies will prepare a report on changes in equity within 3 days, submit a written report to the CSRC and the Exchange, notify the listed companies and make an announcement. If a major shareholder holding more than 30% of the shares of a listed company increases his holdings, he may choose to freely increase his holdings by no more than 2% within 12 months. He can increase his holdings first, and then submit the exemption application documents to the China Securities Regulatory Commission. If the shareholding ratio exceeds 2%, an offer shall be made to all shareholders, and the tender offer ratio shall not be less than 5%.
A major shareholder holding more than 5% of the shares of a listed company shall make a report and make an announcement in accordance with the regulations. During the reporting period and within two days after making the report and announcement, the shares of listed companies shall not be traded again. Small and medium-sized investors and shareholders do not need to make reports and announcements. However, minority shareholders who do not exceed 5% of the shares of listed companies are not required to comply with the above provisions.
