UK Company Formation

There are three types of limited companies incorporated in the United Kingdom.

Private Company Limited by Shares
This is the most popular type of company incorporated in the United Kingdom. This type of company can be used for any commercial purpose. Private companies limited by shares are also used as holding companies and can be trading or non-trading. The company name can either be suffixed with "Limited or Ltd" We incorporate private companies limited by shares on-line within 3 working hours. Our fee to incorporate a private company limited by shares is £68.

Private Company Limited by Guarantee
A company limited by guarantee is normally incorporated for non-profit making functions. The company has no share capital. A company limited by guarantee has members rather than shareholders. Companies limited by guarantee are usually used by:
  • Schools & Educational Establishments
  • Clubs & Associations
  • Charities and Organisation intending to apply for charitable status
  • Churches & Other Places of Worship
  • Trade or Research Associations

Public Company - PLC
A PLC or Public Limited Company has access to capital markets and can offer its shares for sale to the public through a recognised stock exchange. It can also issue advertisements offering any of its securities for sale to the public. In contrast, a private company may not offer to the public any shares in itself.

In addition to limited liability companies we also incorporate Limited Liability Partnerships.

Limited Liability Partnership - LLP
LLP's also known as Limited Liability Partnerships are relatively new to the United Kingdom, but are becoming increasingly popular because they give benefits of limited liability but allow its members the flexibility of organising their internal structure as a traditional partnership.
