Is a company limited by shares and is generally listed on the Stock Exchange or AIM, the Alternative Investment Market. The shares can be offered for sale to the general public and the members’ liability is limited to the amount unpaid on the shares held by them.
There are many advantages to operating your business as a public limited company, and for registering your company on the stock exchange. First of all, a public status offers a business a broader access to capital through both sales of shares and alternative sources of finance, e.g. banks are more likely to give out loans to public companies than to private ones. Secondly, going public also gives a company a more prestigious profile and therefore makes it easier to market its products and services as well as get the trust of potential new clients. Other advantages include a greater stock liquidity, easier mergers and acquisitions and the freedom and flexibility to use the company’s funds for a variety of purposes.
Despite all the benefits of public companies, most small businesses opt for a private limited company primarily because it is much cheaper and easier to set up.
In order to register a Public Limited Company the following requirements must be met:
There are also many other points to consider before incorporating a Public Limited Company so if you require further information or advice on setting up a Public Limited Company please contact WCA.
The advantages to the owners of having an LLP are that they can benefit from having an organisation with limited liability whilst allowing its members to take advantage of the structure and taxation rules of a traditional partnership. Upon the incorporation of an LLP all the members sign an LLP agreement. Those partners who signed the incorporation document are called first members. Any other person can become a member of the LLP by the agreement with the existing members later on.
In order to register a Limited Liability Partnership the following requirement must be met:
*Designated members have the same rights and duties towards the LLP as any other member; however they also have extra responsibilities to perform some administrative and filing duties and are accountable for failing so to do.
Profits of a LLP are taxed as if the business were carried on by partners in a partnership, rather than by a corporate body. Each member of a partnership pays tax and National Insurance contributions (NICs) on their share of the profits which are taxable as profits of a trade, profession or vocation.
Please contact WCA for LLP formation details and prices.
Nearly all countries allow a foreign company to register as a foreign subsidary or establishment, in lieu of forming a new ‘local’ domestic entity to undertake business.
In the UK, if an overseas company decides to open a UK Establishment, it must be registered with the UK Companies Registry. In order to register a UK Establishment the following documents must be supplied:
* If the document is in a language other than English then a certified English translation must be provided. WCA can advise on the cost of the translation if necessary.
When registering a UK Establishment, either the overseas company´s corporate name or an alternative name may be used. If an alternative name is used to register a UK Establishment then the same restrictions as for UK company names will apply. In the case where you are registering your UK Establishment under an overseas company corporate name, the application of restrictions will depend on whether the overseas company is in the European Economic Area or not.
After registration, the Establishment must notify the Companies Registry of any changes to the original information filed as and when it occurs using the relevant forms.
For more information and assistance with forming a UK Establishment, please contact WCA.

Worldwide Corporate Advisors has over twenty three years of experience in Apostille and document retrieval services in over 190 countries.
We often assist clients such as law firms and international businesses with document legalization when conducting business in countries outside of the Hague Convention.
An Apostille is a certification or guarantee that proves a document is authentic for legal purposes in foreign countries. The stamp of an Apostille is similar to that of a notary, only the requirements for authorization vary depending on state and country.
Obtaining Apostilles is important for businesses and individuals to legally conduct international transactions.
This is where the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the UK, confirms that the signature, seal or stamp of a notary or public official is true and genuine.
All countries that accept an Apostille are parties to the Hague Convention, one of many treaties negotiated at the Hague Conference – a global inter-governmental organisation promoting the harmonisation of any conflict of law principles within international law.
