Limited Companies - What You Need to Know
Are you looking to set up a Limited Company in the UK? Or are you already running one? Either way, you’ve come to the right place. At TCA, we provide expert accountancy services to Limited Companies across a range of industries.
What is a Limited Company?
A Limited Company is a type of business structure that offers its owners protection against personal liability for the company’s debts. This means that if the company runs into financial difficulty, the owners’ personal assets are not at risk. Instead, the liability is limited to the assets owned by the company.
Types of Limited Companies
There are two main types of Limited Companies in the UK:
Private Limited Company (Ltd): This is the most common type of Limited Company, and it is suitable for small to medium-sized businesses. A Private Limited Company is owned by its shareholders, and the liability of the shareholders is limited to the amount of capital they have invested in the company.
Public Limited Company (PLC): This type of Limited Company is suitable for larger businesses that want to raise capital by selling shares to the public. A Public Limited Company is owned by its shareholders, and the liability of the shareholders is limited to the amount of capital they have invested in the company.
