*Companies limited by guarantee have no
share capital and the liability is fixed to a sum guaranteed by its
members. They normally
have a non-distribution of profits clause
in the Articles of Association. A
company limited by guarantee can undertake commercial activities
without the need for any subscribed equity capital. The following
special features are available to a company limited by guarantee:
Control of the company is achieved without a holding of
shares.
Exclusion of the membership from registration on a share
register or annual return of shareholders.
Ownership in the form of membership can be made
non-transferable in the articles of association.
Ability to utilise the company as a succession vehicle; with
correct drafting, asset devolution on the death of a member can be
achieved without requirement for probate.
Ability to have distribution from the company categorised as
capital gain rather than as income.
