What risks do shareholders bear?

The risks are as follows:

1, the registered capital of the company is not in place, the capital contribution is insufficient (false capital contribution), and the registered capital is falsely reported. The registered capital actually paid in place can't meet the minimum requirements of the Company Law for registered capital, and the company's legal person status can't be generated according to law (the company's legal person status is denied), and the shareholders are jointly and severally liable for repayment; Where the registered capital actually paid in place meets the minimum requirements of the Company Law for the registered capital of the company, the difference shall be borne by the shareholders.

2. If shareholders withdraw the assets of the company, resulting in the company's insufficient performance ability, they shall be jointly and severally liable for the company's debts within the scope of withdrawing the assets of the company.

3. If there is only one major shareholder of the company and the remaining shareholders are only nominal shareholders or fictitious shareholders, the major shareholder of the company shall bear unlimited liability for the debts of the company, and the nominal shareholder shall be liable for compensation for the debts of the company.

A wholly-owned enterprise called a limited liability company is a natural person, and the owner of the enterprise bears unlimited liability for the debts of the company. If a limited liability company produces a shareholder due to the transfer of equity, and fails to recruit new shareholders and register the change of enterprise nature within six months, the shareholder shall bear unlimited liability for the company's debts.

(2) The funds of the company and shareholders are mixed and the same account is used continuously;

(3) The business between the company and shareholders continues to be chaotic, and the specific trading behaviors, trading methods and trading prices are dominated or manipulated by the same controlling shareholder.

Controlling shareholder refers to the shareholder who actually participates in the company's operation and management and can exert influence on the company's main decision-making activities; The controlling shareholder may be a shareholder holding a majority of shares, but is not limited to a shareholder holding a majority of shares.

6. If the shareholders' assets are mixed with the company's assets, and the shareholders' business is mixed with the company's business (related party transactions), the company's personality will be absorbed by shareholders and will no longer be independent, and shareholders will bear unlimited joint and several liability for the repayment of the company's debts.
