Ltd by Guarantee Overview
Companies limited by guarantee are a unique type of company designed for non-profit and community-based activities. Instead of shareholders, there are guarantors who agree to pay a set amount if the company faces liabilities.
Unlike standard limited companies:
- No Shareholders or Shares – only guarantors.
- Profits Are Reinvested – usually put back into the company’s goals, not distributed.
- Personal Finances Protected – guarantors’ liability is limited to their agreed amount.
This model is widely used for not-for-profit organisations that need a professional, legally recognised structure.
Important: A company limited by guarantee is not suitable for forming a charity. Please see our Charity Company page for more details.
