Unlimited company
In the United Kingdom, an unlimited company is a company formed by registration under the Companies Act 1985 where the liability of the members is unlimited - that is, they are liable to contribute whatever sums are required to pay the debts of the company should it go into bankruptcy. Not surprisingly, this is not a common form of company. One example that was of significant press and political interest when it got into financial difficulties is The Equitable Life Assurance Society (company number 00037038).
