Private company limited by guarantee. Until 1981, it was possible in the United Kingdom to form a company limited by guarantee with share capital.[3] Like a private company limited by shares, a company limited by guarantee must include the suffix "Limited" in its name, except in circumstances specifically excluded by law. One condition of this exclusion is that the company does not distribute profits. Common uses of companies limited by guarantee include clubs, membership organisations, including students' unions, residential property management companies, sports associations (such as the PGA European Tour), workers' co-operatives, other social enterprises, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and charities (such as Oxfam).

The railway infrastructure provider Network Rail, domain name registry Nominet UK, England and Wales Cricket Board and IXPs LINX (London Internet Exchange), and LONAP (London Access Point) are also companies limited by guarantee.

But problems like hunger, illiteracy and child labour are complex and deep-rooted, and the effort to address them brings with it a whole other set of challenges. Veteran development workers shed some light on the right - and wrong - ways to go about starting an NGO. DON'T see your beneficiaries simply as recipients Since the input of community members is what makes a project successful, you should look at the people you're trying to help as partners.
