Limited by Guarantee Company

Company limited by guarantee without a share capital

This is a private company and the minimum number of members is 7 and the maximum is 50. It is a company which has not been established to earn profits for its members but rather to carry out a specific purpose. The members liability is only the amount they have undertaken to contribute to the assets of the company, being not less than €1 in the event that the company is wound up. They are not required to raise funds from the members and they still retain the benefits of limited liability and a separate legal entity.

This type of company is favoured by groups of people coming together for a common purpose and who wish to have the protection of limited liability. The most commonly uses for this type of company are: Charities, residential associations, property management, educational, sports clubs, trade associations, professional bodies and associations.
