The differences between company investment and individual investment are as follows: if a company invests in a company, it shall be approved by the shareholders' meeting; Personal investment does not require the consent of others, as long as the parties are willing; Where a company invests in a company, it shall be a shareholder of the invested company; Individual investors are shareholders of the company; If a company invests in a company, it shall bear the responsibility with all the company's property; if an individual invests, it shall bear the limited liability with its capital contribution.
First, investors are different. As a result of its investment, the company became a shareholder of another company. The legal representative's contribution means that the natural person becomes a shareholder as the main body of investment.
Second, there are different ways to take responsibility. The company's investment is limited to the amount of capital contribution subscribed by the company, and the company's property is responsible. The legal representative's capital contribution is limited to the amount of capital contribution subscribed by him.
Third, investment restrictions are different. A one-person limited liability company can invest in multiple one-person companies as an investor. The legal representative can only invest in a one-person limited liability company.
Fourth, the beneficiaries are different. The income generated by the company's investment belongs to the company. The income generated by the legal representative's investment belongs to the legal representative.
Fifth, the management subject is different. The management personnel of the company invested by the company shall be elected by the shareholders' meeting. The company invested by the legal representative is created by its appointment.
Company investment refers to the company's foreign investment, that is, the company invests its own assets as shares of other companies. Since the company's assets themselves come from the investment and investment income of shareholders, if the company invests in other companies, its ownership will no longer belong to the company, and the company cannot completely control the use and income of assets, and there is also a gap with the investment expectations of the original shareholders. In order to ensure the safety of company assets, local laws often impose certain restrictions on this. In contrast, Chinese mainland's company law is stricter, while Hongkong's company law is more liberal and less restrictive.
