A company is a legally-recognised group or association of people who have a common goal and who use their respective talents to achieve that goal. In the UK, companies must be registered under the Companies Acts (or other similar legislation).

Companies can take various forms, including:

* Voluntary organisations
* Partnerships
* Private limited companies
* Public limited companies
* Limited liability companies.
* Unlimited companies.
* Franchises
* Workers cooperatives

In the UK, where a company’s name is followed by the letters ‘Ltd’, it denotes that the company is a private limited company. In other words, in the event of the company liable say, for a misdemeanour or economic misadventure, the shareholders or subscribers of that company are liable only for the amount of their investment or what they have guaranteed to the company, ie, they have limited liability. For example, if an investor owns £10,000 worth of shares and the company becomes bankrupt (or ‘goes bust’), the investor is only liable for £10,000 even if the company’s debts run into millions.

If a limited company is guaranteed by shares (as opposed to limited by guarantee), it may be a private or public company. A private company limited by shares is denoted by Ltd; a public company limited by shares is denoted by PLC (or Plc) after its name. In a Plc, the shares are held by the public.

Companies may also be simply classified according to whether they are public (ie owned by the state) or private.

Many companies are joint stock companies which means their stock has been translated into shares which can be bought and sold by shareholders. Buying such shares will result in a share certificate that denotes how many shares the shareholder owns and therefore the percentage of the company that they own can be calculated.
