Companies limited by guarantee: if the members' liability is limited to such amount as the members undertake to contribute to the assets of the company in the event of its being wound up, the company is a company limited by guarantee. Companies Act 2006, Part 1, Section 3 (3); see also Paul Davies, op cit., p. 31. A company limited by guarantee 'is particularly suitable for carrying on not-for-profit activities. Such a company has members but they are not shareholders, because such a company issues no shares. Instead, its members must agree to contribute a certain amount to its assets if the company is wound up as insolvent.' The amount that a member is obliged to contribute is specified in the company's memorandum. CA 2006, Part 1, Section 3 (3).
Community Interest Company: when certain conditions are met, a company limited by shares or a company limited by guarantee may be formed as or become a community interest company. CA 2006, Part 1, Section 6.
Council Regulation (2157/2001/EC) of 8 October 2001 on the Statute for a European Company (SE), http://ec.europa.eu/intemal_market/se/index_en.htm
Various types of companies are recognized by the CA 2006, such as unlimited companies, limited companies, including companies limited by shares and companies limited by guarantee,1 and community interest companies.2 A corporate form has also been introduced in an EU regulation, namely the European Company, or SE (Societas Europaea).3
