A Company Limited by Guarantee
Rother Fed is a company limited by guarantee which means we do not have shares or shareholders, but instead we have members. Our members are not liable for any debts of Rother Fed. By becoming a member, your association guarantees or promises to pay no more that £1, (that's all) should the company go bust. Our members do not receive any income but do receive other benefits such as support, training, information and more.
