Your businessYour business must operate within a legal framework. You may be
self-employed (sole trader or partnership) or you may prefer the
benefits of a company with limited liability; but what is a professional
limited liability company? There seems to be a range of alternative
formats, so which type is right for your needs?
Private Limited Company (LTD)The most common type of company to be formed for a small or startup business is a "private company limited by shares". This format suits most businesses and it can be set up within a day. With a company you have "limited liability", which means that your business risks are reduced. Instead of risking your home and all your personal assets your risk is limited to the assets actually owned by your company and the value of the issued shares. Order a Private Limited Company.
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)If your business runs as a partnership you may wish to retain that format. If you also want 'limited liability' you can register as a 'Limited Liability Partnership" (LLP). This is suitable for professionals and consultants who work for fees and want to be self-employed for tax purposes. Is an LLP right for you?

Your social enterpriseClubs, charities and other social and community interest ventures also face risks. Forming a limited liablility brings those risks under control and provides a legal not-for-profit structure for the venture.
Community Interest Company (CIC)This relatively new type of company provides a lighter format for social enterprises that don't want the full burden of administering a registered charity. The company is registered with Companies House and the CIC Regulator. Read about Community Interest Companies (CIC).
