(KN) Safeguard of personal assets
(AN) if a business fails and the debts of the business need to be paid the shareholders have limited liability meaning that they are only a custom to pay what they invested and hence don't lose their assets for compensation,
(AN+) hence due to this the shareholders personal assets are safeguarded through limited liability as they don't have to be given up to pay the business debts or to creditors.

(KN) Shareholder will get more returns
(AN) because of this, the shareholder will be much more encouraged to further invest in the business,
(AN+) hence by investing more, the business may see the shareholder as something valuable and may not want to let him go, and hence give them bonuses, which will further increase their returns.
