Company types · Northern Ireland
A private limited company suits most businesses, but it isn’t the only option. We form a range of company types in Northern Ireland and can advise on the right structure for you.

Combines the flexibility of a partnership with the protection of limited liability. Members share the risk, costs and profits, but liability is limited to what they invest. There are no directors — at least two designated members handle the filing. Popular with professional firms, start-ups and joint ventures.
Has members rather than shareholders, who each guarantee a nominal amount instead of buying shares. Commonly used by charities, clubs, associations and non-profits — and can hold charitable status.
Set up to own and manage the communal areas or freehold of a property, with the flat owners or residents as members — a clean structure for managing shared buildings and estates.
For social enterprises that trade for community benefit, with an asset lock that keeps profits and assets working for the cause.
Choosing the right company type affects tax, liability and how you run things. We’ve been forming Northern Ireland companies since 1994 — tell us what you’re setting up and we’ll point you to the right structure, or just get in touch.
