What is a limited company?

We could fill pages of this web site with in depth information about limited companies. However, this site is designed to provide a brief overview. If you would like further detailed information about company formations please either visit our company formation web site or telephone 0800 328 7494 to speak to an advisor.

A company is a separate entity - a legal person in its own right, quite separate from those who own it (the shareholders) and those who run it (the directors).

As a separate person, a company can itself:

• own property
• employ people
• act as director or secretary of another company
• enter into contracts
• sue in the courts and be sued

A private company may be limited by shares or by guarantee (a commitment to contribute a given sum if the company is wound up).

A key point to recognise is that a company may have limited liability for its shareholders. If the company is unable to pay its debts and is put into liquidation, the members will not be required to contribute more than they have actually paid or have agreed to pay towards settling its debts.

Some advantages of a trading as a limited company are:

• Risk avoidance - limited financial liability.
• Reduced tax bills
• Prestige and credibility
• Defined ownership - issuing shares to represent percentage of ownership makes clear who is entitled to what percentage of profits
• Protection of your business name
• Avoidance of common problems associated with unlimited partnerships

Some disadvantages could be:

• Ownership of assets can be locked up in the company. However steps can be taken to mitigate this effect. e.g. directors owning property and leasing to the company
• PAYE has to be operated
• Slightly higher administrative burden than sole traders
