Register a company limited by guarantee - summary
Companies limited by guarantee are often social enterprises - bodies like membership organisations, worker co-operatives, sports clubs, and community centres. They're a different type of limited company offering their shareholders limited financial exposure and liability in the event that their enterprise enters insolvency.
Unlike a standard limited company, there are no shareholders or shares - there are guarantors who agree in advance to pay up to an agreement amount towards company liabilities.
Again, unlike a standard limited company, profits are not generally distributed to the shareholders because any surplus funds should be re-invested to help the company achieve its social or other aims. Guarantors are legally entitled to take profits from the limited company but, if they do so, the company will lose its right to be considered as a not-for-profit enterprise.
As with a standard limited company, a company limited by guarantee has its own legal identity and the personal finances of its guarantors are protected because of the pre-agreed limit of liability put in place at formation and from that point onward.
Your Company Formations has been involved in the successful setting up of hundreds of companies limited by guarantee. Our team of experienced staff will work with from you right from the initial set-up through to the point of establishment of your company limited by guarantee and beyond.
Companies limited by guarantee are not a suitable legal vehicle for the formation of a charitable company. Please click on our "Charity" page to find out more.

FAQs
We gathered all questions you may have about our company, process, packages and pricing.
Model Articles are a standard set of rules and regulations published by the government that govern how a company limited by guarantee is run. They cover basic matters such as how meetings are conducted, how decisions are made, and the general duties of those managing the company. They are designed to work for most straightforward organisations without requiring any tailoring. They are not suitable when your organisation has specific governance requirements, unusual membership rules, particular voting structures, or needs to include defined charitable objects or sensitive words in its name. In those cases, a set of bespoke or edited articles is required to accurately reflect how your organisation actually operates.
You would need bespoke articles when the standard model articles do not reflect your organisation's specific governance structure, objectives, or requirements. Common reasons include wanting to include defined charitable or community purposes within the articles, applying to use sensitive or restricted words in your company name, such as Benevolent, Association, Society, Federation, Trust, or Foundation, or setting up a membership structure with specific rules around admission, voting rights, or removal of members. The bespoke articles package allows you to upload your own professionally prepared articles or to edit a legally checked set of articles to include your company objects and any sensitive words relevant to your organisation.
The page does not require you to use a solicitor. The bespoke articles package gives you two options: you can upload your own articles that you have had prepared separately, or you can use and edit a legally checked set of articles provided as part of the service. If your organisation has straightforward requirements, editing the provided template may be sufficient. However, if your governance structure is complex, you are pursuing charitable status, or your articles need to satisfy the Charity Commission's requirements, it is advisable to have a solicitor or specialist review them before submission to ensure they are legally sound and fit for purpose.
