Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Ltd"

A: It derives from "limited liability". It refers to a firm or similar owned by shareholders who contribute money to buy shares in the company. If the company goes bankrupt they only lose the amount they have paid for the shares.

A: "Ltd" is usually short for "limited". It's often included in a company name to indicate it is a "limited liability" corporation.

This means that the employees and company directors are not held personally responsible for company debts (for example), instead the company itself is treated like a separate person/entity.

If the business fails / has too many debts, it declares bankruptcy but the people in charge of the business are not personally in trouble (they do not lose their personal money/possessions), they only lose the company.
