Foreign businessmen prefer one of the four incorporation structures to register their UK business:
Limited liability company (Limited, Ltd).
Public limited company (PLC).
Limited liability partnership (LLP).
Scottish liability partnership (SLP).
They have one thing in common – limited liability, when shareholders, guarantors, partners and limited partners are liable for the company’s debts only up to the amount of their contribution in a share capital, their guarantee, nominal or actual value of purchased shares.
