Limited by Guarantee Company Registration
What is a Limited by Guarantee Company?
A company limited by guarantee is the prefered model for non-profit organisations such as charities, and social enterprises. The key difference with a Limited by Guarantee company is that it does not have a share capital and will usually have a clause in its Articles of Association to prevent any profits or gains from being paid to its members.
Any profits generated are reinvested in the company to serve a list of predefined objectives set out in the Articles of Association.
