Public limited company
A public limited company (legally abbreviated to plc) is a type of public company (publicly held company) under United Kingdom company law, some Commonwealth jurisdictions, and the Republic of Ireland. It is a limited (liability) company whose shares may be freely sold and traded to the public (although a plc may also be privately held, often by another plc), with a minimum share capital of £50,000 and the letters PLC after its name.〔Longman Business English Dictionary〕 Similar companies in the United States are called ''publicly traded companies''.
A PLC can be either an unlisted or listed company on the stock exchanges. In the United Kingdom, a public limited company usually must include the words "public limited company" or the abbreviation "PLC" or "plc" at the end and as part of the legal company name. Welsh companies may instead choose to end their names with ccc, an abbreviation for ''cwmni cyfyngedig cyhoeddus''. However, some public limited companies (mostly nationalised concerns) incorporated under special legislation are exempted from bearing any of the identifying suffixes.
The term "public limited company" and the "PLC"/"plc" suffix were introduced in 1974; prior to this, all limited companies bore the suffix "Limited" ("Ltd"), which is still used by private limited companies.〔"Companies Bill defines 'insider': legislation is expected by the summer", ''The Times'', 20 December 1973〕
== Registration ==
When a new company incorporates in England and Wales or in Scotland, it must register with Companies House, an executive agency of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. In Northern Ireland, although prior to October 2009, companies in that jurisdiction were registered with the Northern Ireland Executive's Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment, companies registrations are now handled by the Companies House like the rest of the United Kingdom.
