17 September 2011 Company Limited by Guarantee:
It is mainly used when setting up a non-profit business. Instead of having shareholders, this company has members. The company is formed for the sole purpose of providing a service to the public.

Company Limited by Shares:
A company limited by shares is an ordinary business in which the owners want to make a profit. Therefore there are shareholders and the clauses in their guiding statements that give them the liberty to engage in all kinds of activities that let them make a profit provided that these activities are legal.

1. Companies limited by shares are the most popular form of business.
2. Companies limited by guarantee are non-profit organizations, but companies limited by shares are those designed to make a profit.
2. Companies limited by guarantee have members and companies limited by shares have shareholders.
