A limited company is a type of company which when set up allows an entrepreneur to keep their own assets and finances separate from the business itself.

This means that people who have invested in the business (the shareholders) are only responsible for the company’s debts up-to-the amount that they have invested and no more.

It is therefore a good way for a business to get investment without risk to personal wealth. Companies may be limited by shares or guarantees.
