Legal representative of baishike Mining Machinery Co, Ltd
Q: Hello, I am a 100% shareholder of a limited liability company, and then the legal representative and the chairman of the board of directors are not themselves. What is the legal risk to me
A: Jun Tong legal online consulting will answer for you
the chairman of the board of directors is elected by the board of directors of the company, not necessarily by the shareholder with the largest capital contribution. Generally, when a small enterprise does not set up a board of directors, it will set up an executive director. Article 51 of the company law of the people's Republic of China: a limited liability company with a small number of shareholders and a small scale may set up an executive director instead of a board of directors. The executive director may concurrently serve as the manager of the company. The functions and powers of the executive director shall be prescribed by the articles of association with reference to Article 46 of the company law of the people's Republic of China. Where there is no board of directors in a limited liability company, the executive director shall be the legal representative of the company
but it's me who counts, and the legal representative is my puppet
because a legal person is equivalent to the person in charge of the enterprise, or the legal subject of the enterprise. Legally, the enterprise is yours. If there are any problems with the enterprise, such as debts and violations of laws, the first thing to do is to find your legal person
you said that you are not an investor and do not make any decisions in the company. I'm sorry, that would not be accepted unless you signed a perfect agreement before (this loophole is too big, even if you signed it, you would quarrel for a long time when there is a problem, and the outcome is hard to say)
as for why the investor does not act as a legal person, it's very simple to evade responsibility, When something goes wrong, it's all the business of a legal person, and investors don't have to be held responsible
to avoid some risks, find a lawyer, sign the agreement, and then notarize at the notary office< br />
legal representative and legal representative are two different legal concepts. The legal representative can also be called the authorized representative of the legal person.

Legal persons should be held responsible whether they are registered or not
As the "legal representative" of a limited liability company with more than two shareholders, when the company is in debt to the outside world, it has no relationship with itself, and only undertakes the repayment responsibility to the outside world to the extent of the company's own property. At this point, the risk is small As the "legal representative" of the sole proprietorship enterprise, when the company is in debt to the outside world, it has to bear the responsibility of repayment with all its personal property. At this time, the risk is relatively large As the "legal representative" of a one person limited liability company, when the company is in debt to the outside world, in principle, it is only limited to the company's property, but if it is impossible to distinguish between the company's property and the shareholder's personal property, the shareholder may be liable for the company's debt Secondly, in criminal cases, if the company acting as the legal representative commits economic crimes, such as defrauding bank loans, insurance money, illegal fund-raising, etc. At this time, as a legal representative, if he knows this situation well, he may have to bear criminal responsibility
extended data:
the relationship between legal person responsibility and external personal responsibility:
(1) whether the legal representative and other staff members bear personal responsibility for their ty behavior is based on whether they are negligent in performing their ties. Only in case of negligence can an indivial be held responsible
(2) the liability for breach of contract can only be borne by the legal person, not by the legal representative and other staff. In law, the so-called responsibility is not only based on the existence of obligation, but also occurs when the obligor fails to perform the obligation. Therefore, the scope of obligation is related to the scope of responsibilityboth the labor contract and the collective contract are always signed in the name of the legal person, so the legal person can only bear the obligations and the legal liabilities arising therefrom
(3) in the case of explicit provisions in the law, indivial talents should bear external responsibility. According to China's labor law, the legal representative and other staff members can directly bear personal responsibility only if they cause serious personal injury to the workers
