Types of Companies You Can Register .
There are four different types of companies you can choose while you are starting a business in the UK:
Most popular option for small and growing businesses. An LTD is a separate legal entity which offers limited liability to its owners. Shares will be held privately, and strict compliance with the Companies House rules will enhance credibility and growth opportunities.
Public Limited Company (PLC)
Generally designed for larger ventures. A PLC can issue/offer shares to the public and must meet certain higher regulatory standards, including a minimum share capital. PLSs enjoy prestige and great fundraising potential, but also require strict reporting and need to meet more legal obligations.
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
LLPs are a combination of partnerships and companies, which provide flexibility to the business partners and protects individual partners from personal liability. LLP are suitable to professionals who desire to enjoy shared management without exposing themselves to the threat of risking personal assets.
Sole Trader
Easy and fast to establish, sole traders possess complete control, but at the cost of unlimited personal liability for business’s debts. This is the best structure for freelancers and micro-businesses. But unlike in a partnership, this does not form a separate legal entity and has fewer options of expansion.
