What does ‘limited by shares’ mean?

Limited by shares is the most common type of company, and is used if owners ever want to take profits from the company. (‘Limited by guarantee’ is different in that it’s widely used for nonprofit bodies like charities and clubs. Profit is rarely given to the owners. It’s usually kept within the company or used for other purposes).
