Company Registration Coimbatore
‘Limited Company’. It means a company
limited by shares or by gurantee.The liabilirty of the members, in the case of a limited
company, may be limited with reference to the nominal value of the shares,
respectively held by them or to the amount which they haved respectively
guaranteed to contribute in the event of winding up of the company.Accordingly,
a limited company can be further classified into (a) company limited by shares,
and (b) company limited by guarantee. These are discussed below.
Companies Limited by Shares
a company limited by shares is a
registered company where the ;liability of its members is limited by its
Memorandum of Association to the amount, if any, unpaid on the shares
respectively held by them. Accordingly, no member of a company limited by
shares, can be called upon to pay more than the nominal amount of the shares
held by him. If his shares are fully paid-up, he has nothing more to pay. But
in the case of partly-paid shares, the unpaid portion is payable at any time
during the existence of the company on a call being made, whether the company
is a going concern or is being wound up. This is the essence of a company
limited by shares and is the most common form in existence.
Companies Limited by Guarantee
A company limited by guarantee or a “guarantee company”
is a registered company having liability of its members limited by its
memorandum to such amount as the member may respectively undertake to
contribute to the assets of the company in the event of its winding up. Clubs,
trade associations and societies for promoting different objects are examples
of such a company. It should be noted that a special feature of this type of
company is that the liability of members to pay their guaranteed amounts arises
only when the company has gone into liquidation and not when it is a going
concern.
As the regards the funds, a guarantee company without
share capital obtains working capital from other sources, e.g. fees or grants.
But a Guarantee company having a share capital raises its initial capital from
its members, while the normal working funds would be provided from other
sources, such as fees, charges, subscriptions, etc.
The Memorandum of Association of every guarantee company
must state that every member of the company undertakes to contribute to assets
of the company in the event of its being wound up while he is member for the
payment of the debts and liabilities of the company contracted before he ceases
to be a member, and of the charges, cost and expenses of winding up, and for
adjustment of the rights of the contributories among themselves, such amount as
may be required, not exceeding a specified amount.
The Memorandum of a company limited by guarantee must
state the amount of guarantee. It may be of different denominations.
In case of guarantee company having share capital the
shareholders have two-fold liability: to pay the amount which remains unpaid on
their shares, whenever called upon to pay, and secondly, to pay the amount
payable under the guarantee when company goes into liquidation. The voting
power of guarantee company having share capital is determined by the
shareholding and not by the guarantee.
A guarantee company must include the word ‘limited’ or
the words “private limited” as part of its name, and must register its
articles, although it may adopt the provisions of the table ‘D’ of Schedule 1.
It must also state the number of members with which it proposes to be
registerd, although the number can be increased by means of a resolution.
