The characteristics and the organisation of a Liechtenstein stock corporation are essentially the same as those which are normal for legal entities of this nature anywhere else in the world.
This company form is chosen above all if the purpose of the company is the execution of international trading activities. It may also be organised as a holding company, in particular if it is considered advantageous to use an internationally-recognised legal form.
The minimum capital of the stock corporation is CHF 50,000.00. Only the assets of the stock corporation are liable for its debts. The liability of the members of the corporation is excluded.
