What is a Proprietary Limited Company?
One of the best known and most widely used business structures is the Proprietary Limited Company (usually shortened to "Pty Ltd"). When a company is created (called incorporation) it exists independently of its shareholder owner/s and can enter into contracts, and sue and be sued in its own name. A company also has perpetual succession, meaning that it continues to exist despite the death, withdrawal or retirement of the owner/s, until it is wound up in accordance with the Corporations Law.
The control of a company lies with its board of directors, and the Corporations Law and the company's constitution limit the precise nature of the control. The Corporations Law also controls most aspects of a company's formation, how business is conducted and winding up. Unlike sole traders and partnerships, the liability of the owners of companies is generally limited. So owners are only liable to the extent of the capital they have contributed (or promised to contribute) to the company, unless they have given personal guarantees.

Flexibility - the company's shares can be bought or sold without interfering with the corporate structure;
Continued existence - the death or withdrawal of members does not affect the continued existence of the company.
