A company limited by guarantee as a non-profit organisation has the advantages of incorporating a separate legal entity with limited liability for its members, and is a desirable structure for these reasons.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Guarantee Company and a Company Limited by Shares?
A Company Limited by Guarantee does not have a share capital or shareholders. Such companies also have a list of predetermined objects, the objects define what the company will do and usually include a clause to restrict the directors from paying out any profits to the trustees, but rather to reinvest any profits in fulfilling the company’s objectives.
Who owns a Company Limited by Guarantee?
If the company’s constitution allows it, minors can be members of a Company Limited by Guarantee. Individuals, and also companies and other legal persons, can be company members.
What is the structure of a Company Limited by Guarantee?
In many ways a Company Limited by Guarantee is operated very similarly to one which is limited by shares. They have many of the same responsibilities, administrative requirements, and regulations to follow. Both are bound by the Companies Acts, both must have a registered office address in the country of incorporation, and both have statutory filing obligations such as submitting annual accounts and confirmation statements.
However, unlike a share company, a Private limited company does not have any shareholders or share capital invested in it instead the company is controlled by members who occupy the role of guarantors. There must be at least one director (charitable organizations will need two) who will typically also be a guarantor.
Is a CLG a Charity?
A CLG does not have to be a charity, but it can apply for charity status as it allows the CLG to obtain full tax exemption on its income.
To apply for charity status, CLGs have to fulfil the criteria set out by the Commissioner of Charities. Charities are allowed to carry on business activities, but the scope of such activities are limited.
Are Companies Limited by Guarantee Public or Private?
CLGs are public companies because CLGs do not have share capital unlike companies limited by shares. Thus, the liability of members of a CLG is limited to the amount which they undertake to contribute to the assets of the company in the event of winding up. This amount will be provided for in the company constitution.
On the other hand, for companies limited by shares, the liability of shareholders is limited to the portion of the company’s share capital that they have taken up.
Are there any requirements for CLG?
- Function on a not-for-profit basis
- Established only for charitable reasons
- Complete activities to fulfill its purposes and benefit the public
