Default Limited, Ltd or Who Cares...

What seems more professional?

<company name> Limited
or
<company name> Ltd
or
it doesn't matter at all?


During the formation process, I don't think this matters only in special circumstances but generally you just have to pick one.

Ltd. People do care, but Ltd is an accepted format.

Whenever a company name ends in ltd i always think of a timber yard in a industrial unit

But ltd sounds more professional

people definately care! on one of my sites, i added reference to a company and put ltd on the end and got a very snotty phonecall, even though it was free and favourable publicity....so i deleted them mwahahaha

anyway, i think Limited is almost more "web2.0" yes i said it, though really it should be limited (no case) to really be modern!
