There is no single best type of structure; it all depends on your company’s needs. But I will try to differentiate each type so you can decide for yourself.

The first two main distinctions are private and public. The main difference between private and public limited companies is that the former’s stocks are owned exclusively by the company’s shareholders, while the latter’s can be listed on the stock exchange. However, this isn’t mandatory, and some public limited companies still run publicly.

Companies can also be limited by shares or guarantees. Companies that are limited by shares are the most common because they are simple and can be registered quickly. They are often used only to protect the trading name, whereas companies limited by guarantee are used mainly by non-profit organisations to limit the liability of their members.
