They will only be responsible for paying company debts up to the amount of their guarantees. This type of professional credibility is valuable and can help a company achieve its objectives more effectively.
Forming a company limited by guarantee It is easy to set up a company limited by guarantee through 1st Formations because we offer a specialist 'Guarantee Package' designed for this purpose. Please make yourself aware of the following requirements and regulations before applying to incorporate a limited company: All companies limited by guarantee must be registered with Companies House, the Registrar of Companies in the UK.
A company limited by guarantee must have at least one director and one guarantor. One person may assume both positions, or there can be multiple directors and guarantors. Information held on all directors and guarantors will be available on public record. All limited companies must provide a physical address to be used as the registered office address in the country jurisdiction where your company is registered.
You can have up to four SIC codes. Normally, the directors and guarantors will be PSCs. All registered companies require a memorandum of association and articles of association. The memorandum states the name of each owner guarantor and their agreement to set up the company and become members. The articles outline the rules and regulations the company has to follow.
The memorandum is provided by Companies House and the articles are supplied by 1st Formations or your own company formation agent. However, you can also register companies that are limited by guarantee that are suitable for charities, clubs, associations and other not for businesses that are not for profit.
This type of company is used for private businesses that intend to make a profit which would be distributed to the owners shareholders.
If you are forming a company to earn money for you and any other owners then this is probably the type of company you intend to form. It is typically registered by people wanting to start a charity, club, association, or other business that will re-invest profits for the good of the business not the owners.
This company has no shares so it cannot distribute profit to shareholders. Companies limited by shares are controlled by shareholders, while a guarantee company is controlled by its members. Despite this, when it comes to the day-to-day operations of running the company, the roles occupied by members and directors is very similar. As a company limited by guarantee, the lack of shares does limit the options available when it comes to sourcing funding. This is because the company is not able to secure investment in exchange for shares in the business.
Instead, charitable enterprises may rely on government grants or donations from the public, while clubs may see their main source of income come from supporters paying subscription fees. Companies limited by guarantee are able to provide debentures, however, which can help secure more traditional forms of funding such as bank loans or asset-based finance. If you are considering your options for incorporating as a limited company and are unsure which structure is right for you, the input of an experienced accountant could be invaluable.
