When you have registered a company with Xolo Leap, your company is a limited liability company (OÜ, osaühing in Estonian). This means you, as a shareholder, are legally responsible for the debts of your company only to the extent of the nominal value of your shares.
However, apart from being a shareholder, you are also a management board member of your company, having additional rights and responsibilities.
A management board member of a private limited liability company (OÜ) in Estonia is responsible for the entire company's activities, taking into account the limited liability nature of the company. If a management board member fails to fulfill his/her obligations through deliberate action or by gross negligence, he/she could also become personally liable (creditors could pursue you in person for the company's debt), according to the law. To avoid this, you as a management board member must keep the company in compliance, and ensure fulfillment of your obligations with due diligence.
