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

The most common structure — owned by shareholders, run by directors, with liability limited to the value of the shares. Suits the vast majority of businesses, from sole founders to growing companies.
From £249
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. No directors — at least two designated members handle the filing. Popular with professional firms and joint ventures.
From £249
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.
