There would still be limited liability. Furthermore, they can share risks with investors, and self-insure against risk as well @general

Insurance FTW; investors defeat the whole purpose.

Do investors not own part of the company? They can hold the company hostage in exchange for their capital, even if they can't vote.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
