what is a limited company?
A limited company is the foundation upon which you build your business. It's structure will support and
protect you as your company develops.

You can use this site to register your UK Ltd company. There are a couple of things you should think about before you begin your registration.

First, be sure you know which type of registration you need. For most people a standard limited company is best. Some people only want to reserve a name at this point, or just act as a sole trader. Use the menu on the left to browse through your registration options.

You can register more unusual company types, such as non-profit making, limited partnerships and charities by clicking on specialist registration options. Generally you should take advice from an accountant before registering one of these kinds of company.
