Public limited company<\/strong>
The Ltd in a nutshell<\/h1>\n

The limited company, or Ltd for short, is a very adaptable form of company. It enjoys a very high reputation and is more suitable for medium-sized companies. The simple transfer of shares also makes this form of company interesting for smaller companies.<\/p>\n

The owners, i.e. shareholders, of the Ltd are not liable with their private assets.<\/p>\n

At least one person is required for the foundation. This can also be another company.<\/p>\n

The founding capital can be paid in cash or in the form of a contribution in kind<\/a>, i.e. instead of cash, you bring a tangible asset (e.g. vehicle) into the company.<\/p>\n
