Benefits of a limited company
A limited company is a type of company that is limited in some form. This means that the company is not structured like a sole trader or a non-limited business, and is therefore limited by either shares or by a guarantee. If a company is limited by shares, it can exist as either a public company or a private company.
A limited company that is a private company is owned by shareholders, and is restricted by law and by the company’s rules. The liability of the shareholders is limited to what they have invested in.
This type of business entity can be formed and established in jurisdictions across the globe. The main benefit to trading as a limited company is the limited liability of the company’s officers and shareholders. Personal assets are not at risk in the event of business failure, and as long as the business fully complies with all legal obligations stated within the terms of the company’s Act, the personal assets of directors and shareholders will remain safe in situations of instability or company failure.
Commonly known as a limited liability company (LLC), a limited company is not obliged to commence trading as soon as it has been incorporated. This is beneficial if a company is not ready to be fully operational but is ready to establish itself. Therefore a client can incorporate a limited company in anticipation of future development of a new business, offering full protection on the future company’s name.
