Why Register a Limited Company?
A limited company (LC) is the most popular type of company formation in the UK. It is a business structure where the directors or shareholders have their liability limited to the contributions which they have made or invested in the company. A limited company can be formed by anyone going into business to make a profit. All details are entered easily online and there is no requirement for original signatures.
Limited Company Explained
- A Limited Company is the most popular incorporation in the UK because of its simple and flexible business structure.
- This type of company is required to have a shareholder and director-the shareholders might also be known as the owners of the company.
- A limited company has shareholders who are allocated shares.
