1. How do I set up a Public Limited Company?
If you decide, maybe after taking professional advice, that a Public Limited Company is the best thing for your business, you can buy a ready-made Public Limited Company from a Public Limited Company incorporation agent. Alternatively, you can incorporate a Public Limited Company yourself.

2. Do I really need a Public Limited Company?
The majority of businesses are not a Public Limited Company. The reasons for having a Public Limited Company are varied, for example, it could involve ownership of property, obtaining investment funds, taxation or contractual relationships. Many businesses function satisfactorily as sole traders or partnerships, rather than a Public Limited Company.

The key point to recognise is that a Public Limited Company is a separate entity. This means that the Public Limited Company is a legal person in its own right. The Public Limited Company is separate from those who own or run it, and has 'limited liability'.

3. What does Public Limited Company liability mean?
Public Limited Company liability gives the owners of the Public Limited Company (its shareholders) protection if the Public Limited Company fails. This means that if a Public Limited Company is put into liquidation, the people who own the Public Limited Company will only be required to pay what they have already paid to the Public Limited Company or agreed to pay towards settling the debts of the Public Limited Company.

4. What can I do with an unwanted Public Limited Company?
If you decide that you do not need a Public Limited Company that you have set up, you should consider putting the Public Limited Company into voluntary liquidation. If the Public Limited Company cannot afford this, you may be able to apply for the Public Limited Company to be struck off the Public Limited Company register.
