COMPANY LIMITED BY SHARES

A limited company is possibly the most popular choice of business formation 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 debts or liabilities.

The company's profits, losses, assets and liabilities belong to the company that is owned by its members (the shareholders), the company is run by the managing director who is responsible for the company's activities.

Due to the fact that a limited company is a legal entity of its own the company can continue to trade despite of resignation or death of its directors, and can be passed on to new directors without any effect on the business itself.

Many businesses in the United Kingdom are started as sole traders or a partnerships, but to trade as a Limited Company has many benefits.
