Abbreviation for Limited liability company.

In a limited liability company the liability of the members is restricted to a predefined amount.

In the case of a company limited by shares the members' liability is restricted to the amount, if any, unpaid on the shares they hold.

Most commercial companies are of this type.

In a company limited by guarantee the liability of the members is restricted to a predefined amount which the members guarantee to contribute (on the event of any winding up of the company).
