The whole point of a limited company is that its owners are protected against failures of the company. A lot of things will go sideways if this protection gets removed.

I'm genuinely ignorant, but is the owner's protection against the company failing due to standard bad luck/mismanagement/cursed frogurt, the company doing blatantly illegal things under their direction, or both?
