Explanation of Solution
- Separate legal existence: A business which is detached from another business in terms of reporting. It comes into existence to separate the actions of business from other company.
- Limited liability of stockholders: Stockholders liability remains limited to the amount of their capital invested in business regardless of losses suffer by the business.
- Transferable ownership rights: Shares are owned by the shareholders they can sell them wholly are partially depending on their will, however the things changed in
partnership firm as it required a common understanding of all or both the partners.
Notes:

- Limited liability stockholders state that shareholders ownership is only limited to the amount they invested in business. Under this, creditors cannot claim the company’s assets.
- Shareholders holding shares in a company, give them right to sell them without anybody’s interference while this is only the case in individual business entity in case of partnership firm they can only be sold or purchased only after a mutual consent.
