USING 'LIMITED'

Limited companies must normally have the word "limited" (or its Welsh equivalent "cyfyngedig") as part

of their company name. This may be abbreviated to

"Itd." (or "cyf."). Under Section 30 of the Companies

Act 1985 however, some companies, provided that

they satisfy certain criteria, do not have to include the

word "limited".
