What does it mean by a company limited by guarantee

An LBG company differs from a system based on the equity in that it has no shareholders or share capital. Rather, it's composed of members who each act as guarantors. The guarantors can also be referred to as "members," "trustees," "governors" or "members of the committee," depending on the organisation.

Guarantees have several key duties at the company, including:

• Project formation 
• According to the corporate priorities and objectives 
• Appointing or dismissing Directors, whose job is to handle the company's day-to-day activities (this can be the guarantor itself) 
• Agreement of the competences of the directors

Requirements:

• You have to have at least one principal and one guarantor. A guarantor can play both roles or you can choose to have multiple managers and guarantees 
• Required details on all directors and guarantees must be put on public record
• You will have details of an address at the registered office during the company forming process. This official address for the organization will then be published in the public record. In the country where the business is registered, it must be a full postal address (i.e. not a PO box)

LBGs with objects and services of the charity

A business must have gross profits above £6000 per annum minimum to be registered with the Charity Commission. However, if a corporation has a lower income because its items are charitable, and the Articles restrict the use of funds and profits to charitable purposes, a corporation can also obtain tax exemptions from HMRC.

This service provides Association Articles which you will need to edit. Properly written papers will provide you with a charitable organization (but not a registered charity) that meets the tax exemption requirements of HMRC.

Do not add the business name with the word "charity."

The Companies Act deems "Charity" a sensitive term. If you are registered with the Charities Commission, the word can not be used on your company's behalf.

First, incorporate your business, then register with the Charities Commission once you fulfil their requirements. If you are a charity known you can simply change the name of the organization.
