| | Company (law) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The most important legislation governing company law is found in the Companies Act 1985 and to a lesser extent the Companies Act 1989. | | | A company is not necessarily a corporation, and thus may not have a separate existence from its members. | | | Directors and company secretaries can be either individuals or corporate entities, and there are almost no nationality and residence restrictions, although there must be an office within the UK, registered with Companies House. |

| | Incorporated companies normally have limited liability - their shareholders and directorss are not normally responsible for the company's debts beyond the amount they paid for their sharess. | | | In most jurisdictions, companies are bound by law to maximise value for their shareholders, meaning they can only consider other stakeholders if doing so would create value for their shareholders, or if their shareholders vote to accept reduced profits to pursue some wider objective. | | | The most important legislation governing company law is found in the Companies Act 1985 and to a lesser extent the Companies Act 1989. |
