Types of Companies

There are several types of companies that operate in the UK, including:.

Limited Companies
Public Limited Companies (PLCs)
Sole Traders
Partnerships

Limited Companies

A limited company is a type of business in which the owners’ liability is limited to the amount of money they have invested in the company. This means that if the company goes bankrupt, the owners’ personal assets are protected.

Limited companies are generally seen as more credible and professional than other types of businesses.

Public Limited Companies (PLCs)

A public limited company (PLC) is a type of business that is publicly traded on the stock market. PLCs have more than 50 shareholders, and they must meet certain legal requirements, including having a board of directors and publishing annual reports.

PLCs are often large and well-established companies.

Sole Traders

A sole trader is a type of business in which the owner runs the company themselves. The owner has unlimited liability, which means that they are responsible for all debts and legal issues.

Sole traders are often small businesses, such as self-employed individuals.

Partnerships

A partnership is a type of business in which two or more people share ownership and responsibility. Partnerships can be either traditional partnerships or limited partnerships.

In a traditional partnership, all partners have unlimited liability, while in a limited partnership, some partners have limited liability.

Registration Processes

All UK companies must be registered with Companies House, which is responsible for maintaining the official register of companies in the UK.

To register a company, you will need to provide information on the company name, type, registered address, directors, and shareholders.
