What does 'Ltd. (Limited)' mean. Ltd., or Limited, is a suffix that follows the name of a company, indicating it is a private limited company. This is an incorporation available under British, Irish and some Commonwealth countries' laws. In a limited company, shareholders' liability is limited to the capital they originally invested.
In the U.S., in those states where ltd. is allowed as an alternative to inc, a shareholder is not personally or individually liable for any corporate debt or obligation, no matter how much she invested in the business.
