Choose a company structure
that suits your needs
Private Limited Company
This is by far the most popular type of company registered in the UK and is commonly known as a limited company. It is set up for the purpose of making a profit, and has the added benefit of limited liability protection of personal assets.
LLP
Limited liability partnerships (LLPs) are increasing in popularity and are ideal for professionals and consultants who wish to retain the flexibility of a traditional partnership, but require the benefits of a limited liability company.
Guarantee Company
A limited by guarantee company is very much like a standard limited company; however, instead of shareholders, it has guarantors. This type of company is normally registered by non-profit organisations such as clubs and charities.
