Limited by Guarantee (Bespoke) Package Summary
Companies limited by guarantee are often used by membership organisations, clubs, community groups and social enterprises. They have guarantors rather than shareholders, and each guarantor's liability is limited to the guaranteed amount agreed when the company is formed.
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.
Companies limited by guarantee can generate a surplus. Whether members can receive distributions depends on the company's Articles and purpose. Many non-profit companies limited by guarantee reinvest their surplus into the organisation, and registered charities must apply their income and assets to charitable purposes.
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 you right from the initial set-up through to the point of establishment of your company limited by guarantee and beyond.
A company limited by guarantee can be used as a charitable company. Charitable status and charity-regulator registration are separate from Companies House incorporation and depend on the organisation's purposes, governing document and applicable registration requirements. Please see our Charity Company Package page for more information.

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 will need bespoke Articles when standard Model Articles do not fit your organisation’s governance, objectives, or membership rules, or when you need specific company objects or sensitive words. The Limited by Guarantee (Bespoke) Package lets you upload your own Articles or edit our legally checked set.
You do not have to use a solicitor to purchase this package. You can upload Articles prepared separately or use and edit the legally checked set supplied with the service. If your governance arrangements are complex or you are pursuing charitable status, independent legal or specialist review may be appropriate.
