Company law

The creation of a limited liability company is one of the main ways of establishing a business. In most jurisdictions there are various categories of company depending (for example) on the number of shareholders and the size of capital.

Company law in the UK is now mostly governed by legislation, especially the Companies Act 2006. The statute governs the creation of companies and changes made to them.
