What is a limited by guarantee company?
When you
register a company
, you may come across a number of different terms, including limited by guarantee. A
company limited by guarantee
(LBG) is an alternative type of company structure used primarily by non-profit organisations. A company that is limited by guarantee does not usually have shares or shareholders but instead has members who act as guarantors.

When should I choose the limited by guarantee package?
This package is ideal for anyone setting up a non-profit company, such as membership organisations, clubs, and workers’ co-operative or sports associations.
Is this the right package for setting up a charity?
No. This package is not suitable for setting up a charity. To set up a charitable organisation, you will need charity articles, which are available with our
limited by guarantee with charity articles package
.
How is a guarantor different from a shareholder?
The main difference between a guarantor and shareholder is that a shareholder would take profits from the company. A guarantor, under normal circumstances, will not take profits, and instead, any profit is re-invested into the company.
What are the benefits of forming a limited by guarantee company?
A limited by guarantee company provides limited financial liability to the company owners (guarantors). This means their personal finances are legally protected if the company encounters financial difficulties or gets sued, making it a popular and secure option for non-profit organisations.

Strongly Recommend
I am not based in UK and so not aware of any regulations. Catherine helped me understand about the yearly filing and helped me in a high professional manner. Since then, I formed other two companies with them and will strongly recommend them to you.
