At CA Amit K Chawla & Co., we specialize in assisting businesses with the formation and registration of Company Limited by Guarantee structures in India. This unique type of company is commonly used for non-profit organizations, charitable institutions, and clubs where profit distribution among members is not a primary goal. Here’s everything you need to know about forming a Company Limited by Guarantee and how we can help you navigate the process.
What is a Company Limited by Guarantee?
A Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG) is a type of company where members do not have shares but instead contribute a nominal amount towards the company's assets if it is wound up. Typically used by non-profits, charitable organizations, educational institutions, clubs, and trade associations, this structure ensures the organization operates for the benefit of its cause or members rather than shareholders.
Key Features of a Company Limited by Guarantee:
- No Share Capital: Unlike other types of companies, a CLG does not issue shares. The members guarantee a fixed sum (often nominal) to contribute in the event of winding up.
- Non-Profit Nature: The primary purpose of a CLG is to promote a charitable or non-profit objective. Profits are reinvested into the company’s activities rather than distributed to members.
- Limited Liability: Members are only liable for the amount they have guaranteed, offering them financial protection.
- Ideal for Charities and Non-Profits: This structure is often used by charitable organizations, societies, associations, or clubs, offering them credibility and legal status.
Benefits of Forming a Company Limited by Guarantee:
- Limited Liability Protection: Members’ financial liability is limited to the amount they agree to contribute if the company is wound up, protecting personal assets.
- Flexibility for Non-Profit Activities: A CLG allows an organization to legally function without the need to issue shares or distribute profits.
- Credibility and Trust: Registered CLGs are recognized legal entities, boosting trust and credibility with donors, supporters, and regulatory authorities.
- Tax Benefits: Non-profit CLGs can apply for tax exemptions and benefits, depending on the nature of their activities.
