A company limited by shares is a legal entity that is owned by shareholders, whose liability to company creditors is limited to the amount they agree to pay for their shares. It is specifically created for commercial (‘for-profit’) enterprises of all sizes and is widely used in the UK as a business vehicle.

Limited companies possess a distinct legal identity from their owners, thereby making the company accountable for its own liabilities and actions.
