About Limited by Guarantee with Privacy Package

The Limited by Guarantee with Privacy Package is designed for not-for-profit organisations that want to form a UK company while keeping personal addresses off the public record. This package provides a professional registered office address and secure handling of official correspondence.

Your company will be registered as a Limited by Guarantee entity, and you’ll be able to use 20 Wenlock Road, London N1 7GU as your official registered office. This address can also be used as the service address for all directors, guarantors, and People with Significant Control (PSCs), ensuring their residential addresses do not appear on the Companies House public register.

All official government correspondence—including mail from Companies House, HM Revenue & Customs, and other UK authorities—will be securely scanned and emailed to you at no extra cost, giving you convenience, privacy, and peace of mind.

This package is ideal for charities, clubs, associations, and other non-profit organisations seeking a professional, discreet, and fully compliant company setup.

Can you Remove Limited (LTD) from the end of my Company Name? [Section 60]

Under Section 60 of the Companies Act, certain companies are permitted to remove the words “Limited” or “LTD” from the end of their company name. This option is most commonly used by Limited by Guarantee companies.

At present, we are unable to process applications to remove “Limited” or “LTD” on your behalf.

What Is a Limited by Guarantee Company?

A Limited by Guarantee company is a type of limited company primarily used by non-profit organisations. Instead of shareholders, the company has members (also known as guarantors).

Each member agrees to contribute a small, nominal amount—usually a minimal sum—if the company is wound up. This structure ensures limited liability while allowing the organisation to operate without distributing profits.

A full guide to Limited by Guarantee companies can be found on our website.
