Company Formations
When you set out to form a new company, the first and most obvious decision that you need to make is what type of company it will be registered as at Companies House. This is not a straightforward issue and we will talk you through the various options.
Depending on the nature of your business and the types of things that you wish to accomplish as a company, you have a wide range of possible options.
A common designation of a private company limited by shares, is “Limited” or “Ltd”. This type of company has shareholders who have limited liability; unlike PLCs, the shares of a Limited company may not be offered to the public.
Limited liability partnerships, or LLPs, are corporate bodies whose legal existence is generally independent of that of its members.
