Types of Business Structures in the UK | UK Company Formation Guide

Choosing the right business structure is crucial when forming a company in the UK. The structure you select determines your legal responsibilities, tax obligations, and liability. Below are the key types of business structures available in the United Kingdom:

Sole Trader (Self-Employed Business)

A sole trader (or lone proprietor) is an individual who runs their own business.

This structure is simple and requires minimal paperwork, but the owner has unlimited liability—meaning personal assets may be at risk if the business incurs debts. Before registering as a sole trader, it’s essential to assess the level of personal liability involved.

Partnership

A partnership is a business owned by two or more individuals who share profits, responsibilities, and liabilities.

This structure is ideal for professionals and small businesses looking to collaborate. The partners are personally liable for any debts incurred by the business unless they register as a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP).

Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)

An LLP is a legal entity where partners benefit from limited liability, meaning they are only responsible for debts up to the amount they invested.

This structure offers greater financial protection while allowing flexibility in management.

Unlimited Company

An unlimited company is a business structure where shareholders or members have no limit on their liabilities. In case of financial losses, personal assets may be used to cover debts.

This structure is less common but may be preferred for businesses requiring higher financial security and privacy.

Limited Company (Ltd)

A Limited Company (Ltd) is one of the most popular business structures in the UK.

It provides limited liability protection, meaning the personal assets of directors or shareholders remain secure in case of bankruptcy.

Limited companies must comply with Companies House regulations and submit annual financial reports.

Public Limited Company (PLC)

A Public Limited Company (PLC) is a business whose shares are traded on a stock exchange, allowing the public to invest.

PLCs must adhere to strict financial transparency laws and are required to disclose financial information to shareholders.

Private Limited Company (Ltd by Shares or Guarantee)

A Private Limited Company (Ltd) is not publicly listed on the stock exchange but can issue shares privately.

Private companies enjoy limited liability while maintaining greater control over decision-making. They can operate as:

Ltd by Shares – Owned by shareholders who receive dividends.

Ltd by Guarantee – Often used for non-profits and charities, where members act as guarantors instead of shareholders.

Choosing the Right Business Structure in the UK

When forming a business in the UK, consider factors like liability, taxation, compliance requirements, and growth potential.

If you’re unsure, consulting a professional accountant or business advisor can help determine the best structure for your goals.
