What is a limited company
A limited company refers to a company that is limited to what it has invested or guaranteed to the company. A limited company is usually established by sole traders, partnerships or self employed individuals, as it involves fewer tax restrictions and liabilities.

The features of a limited company
A limited company is a company which has been established with fewer investments or legal guarantees than standard companies. It is a business entity that is usually established by a sole trader or partnership, as it poses fewer tax restrictions and limited liability or risk to personal assets.
A limited company must operate within the legal constraints of the Company’s Act in order to reap such benefits. This type of business entity refers specifically to what a company has invested in or legally guaranteed. For example, a limited company, which can be a private or public entity, may be registered under shares or by guarantee.
Therefore a limited company is a more refined business entity in that it has greater legal and company restrictions, particularly if it is a private limited company. In contrast to a private limited company, a public limited company can be traded publicly on a stock exchange, enabling the purchase of shares. However if someone wishes to become a member of a private limited company, they are restricted by rigid legal regulations.
Individuals and companies that wish to establish a limited company are advised to seek the assistance of a professional consultancy firm to ensure that you complete the entire procedure in compliance with the jurisdictional regulations. Moreover, experienced consultants can assist you in establishing your company in a professional and timely manner.
