"Companies Limited by Guarantee" and "Companies Limited by Guarantee and Having Shares" have been around since the earliest British companies in the mid-nineteenth century.
Traditionally, such companies have dominated the "not for profit" sector. However, in the last thirty years, the astonishing flexibility and versatility of these companies have led to their increasing use internationally in place of trusts.
