Services of Business Structures
To make the right decision, it is important to understand the various legal structures of business in the United Kingdom. Below are the most common structures:
Sole Trader
A sole trader is an individual who owns the business alone and is legally responsible for all the business activities, including the liabilities. This structure is suitable for people who want to have complete control over their business and are ready to take all the risks.
Company Limited by Guarantee
This structure is common with non-profit organisations since they do not have shareholders. Instead, members provide a small amount to pay off the debts in the event of the company’s liquidation. This structure is typical for charities and other non-profit organisations.
Limited Partnership (LP)
Some general partners are involved in the management of the business and are liable for the business debts. Limited partners who only contribute capital do not take part in the management of the business and are only liable to the extent of the capital they contribute.
Unlimited Companies
In an unlimited company, the shareholders are liable for its debts, and their assets can be used to pay them. This structure is uncommon and is mostly found in the organisations of professional service providers.
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
An LLP is a hybrid of a partnership and a company, combining the best while maintaining its unique characteristics. Members are not liable for the business debts beyond the capital they contributed.
