(Although / In spite of) being a latecomer, the company has grown remarkably since its foundation, and finally has become the most profitable oil refinder in the country.
I understand "In spite of"is right, but I wonder if "Although" is also possible, considering as the articipial construction.
"Although the company was a latecomer, ~" -> "(Although) being a latecomer, ~" like this.
Or how about this case? "In spite of a latecomer, ~"
Sometimes I'm confused with distinguishing the preposition and the conjunction accurately.
Please explain to me.
