The main advantage of trading through a limited company is to have limited liability.
This type of company is a legal entity which exists separately from its owners. As the company is a separate legal entity from the people running the company they will not be responsible for the company’s debts, unless they have given personal guarantees.
A private company may not offer shares or debentures to the public. Only a public company (PLC) may do so.
