Ltd.

Ltd.
In the United Kingdom, an abbreviation affixed after a company's name indicating that it is a limited company. That is, "Ltd." indicates that the company has limited liability amongst its owners: a shareholder is not liable for more than his/her/its investment in case of insolvency. In other words, an owner of a limited company would lose the value of his/her investment if the company declares bankruptcy, but would not be held liable for other outstanding debts. A limited company is the most common corporation structure in the United Kingdom.
