in the UK. A limited company holds various trading benefits.
Once
you set up a limited company it becomes a legal entity in itself, what
this means is that the founders are not personally liable for the companies

owned by its members (the shareholders), the company is run by the managing
director who is responsible for the company's activities.

and can be passed on to new directors without any effect on the business
itself.
