How many directors should I have for my LAQC?

Our Experts Answer:

If you are not a director, you cannot be held liable for anything that the directors of a company may do.  A shareholder has no liability and their only risk is that they lose their investment, that is, the money they paid for the shares.  From a liability point of view, my advice would be to only have one of you as director, so that you are not 100% exposed.  Having only one of you as director means you are only 50% exposed.   If control is an issue, then both of you will need to be directors.
