Companies Limited by Guarantee (LBG) are the most popular legal structure of not-for-profit organisations. LBGs are used by charities, clubs, sports clubs, associations, community interest companies (CICs), schools, universities and voluntary organisations.
Section 60 of the Companies Acts 2006, states that the name of a company limited by guarantee must end with the words “Limited” or “ Ltd”. However, if the company’s Articles of Association include a charitable objects clause, this provision no longer applies. This service does not allow for the inclusion of bespoke Articles of Association. If you do wish to form your LBG with amended Articles of Association, use our formation service for charities limited by guarantee.
Charity is a sensitive word and cannot be included in the name of a company. To be able to call yourself a charity you need to be registered with the Charity Commission. To be registered with the Charities Commission, your turnover must be £5000 per year or more. The commission may accept a start-up that has pledges of £5000 or more.
