As a company limited by guarantee, the most important element of this is that the 'members' (as opposed to the directors) will not be held personally liable in the event of the organisation running up any kinds of debts. The very nature of this type of group is that there will usually be some kind of charitable or community-spirited interest, and this can be a useful arrangement to limit the overall financial damage that could occur if a project should fail. If a local authority is able to provide any kind of funding for this type of set-up, being established as a company limited by guarantee may be a mandatory requirement in order to qualify for financial backing.

When forming a regular limited company, there may be a number of named shareholders, and this can lead to a requirement to pay some kind of dividend to them - this can have an adverse effect upon funding for a community project. By getting incorporated as a company limited by guarantee, there is no financial obligation to each 'member,' and initial documents are drafted at the outset to confirm exactly how any surplus money should be reinvested instead of distributed.

Does a company limited by guarantee need to use "LTD" in its name?

A common feature among most limited companies in Britain is the use of the word "LTD" at the end of the official company name. This marks the business out as a limited liability company, where the personal, financial interests of the shareholders or directors remain separate to the finances of the company. While most businesses are companies limited by shares, it is also possible to limit a company by guarantee. This involves directors or members acting as guarantors and agreeing to back the firm financially – often by a nominal amount such as £1.

Use of an "LTD": under normal circumstances, if a new limited enterprise is registered through Coddan's services, it will need to have the word "Limited" or "LTD" included in the company name, as required by the Companies Act 2006. Welsh companies can choose to use the equivalent word "Cyfyngedig" or the abbreviation "CYF" instead. However, some companies qualify for an exemption.
When can businesses avoid the use of LTD? Section 30 of the Companies Act 1985, and subsequently Section 60 of the Companies Act 2006, lists a number of instances where a business can avoid using the word "Limited" or the abbreviation "LTD" in its name, so long as certain criteria are met:

1. To begin with the company must be limited by guarantee, rather than being a firm limited by shares, a private unlimited company or a public limited company
2. The firm must also be concerned with promoting either science, art, education, charity, commerce, religion or a profession
3. Profits and income must be used to promote the company's objectives
4. Members must not receive dividends from the company
5. In the event of the enterprise being wound-up, remaining assets must be transferred to another organisation that either has similar objects or is concerned with the promotion of a charity.

As well as not having to include the word "Limited" in the company name, such firms are also exempt from requirements relating to the publication of the company name as well as the need to send the Registrar lists of members. There is also an exemption in place for companies that were limited by shares, on or before November 25, 1982, that were not required to include limited in their name due to holding a licence under section 19 of the Companies Act 1948. These companies would also need to comply with all of the above stipulations.
