A Company Limited By Shares is the standard form of limited liability company registered with Companies House in order to start trading as a limited company. Deemed as a separate legal entity by the law, a company limited by shares is subject to limited liability and therefore offers some protection to its founders.
Being limited by shares, the company necessarily needs share holders as part of its formation and operation. Shareholders (also known as “members”) are deemed to be owners of the company limited by shares and thus have a vote in how the company is run. The Companies Act 2006 requires at least one shareholder to be registered during the formation process. The company limited by shares must also issue relevant share certificates before it can legally begin trading.
