WHAT IS A SINGLE MEMBER COMPANY?
A single member company is a private company, limited
by shares or by guarantee, which is incorporated with,

(These regulations were introduced on 14th July 1992

Companies (Single Member Private Limited Companies)

IS A SINGLE MEMBER LIABLE FOR THE DEBTS OF THE

of a private limited company is not liable for any of the
company's debts contracted on or after the date on
which the above regulations came into force.
