The difficulty is that limited companies often have two, three or four volunteers on their boards. They have no mechanism to fund schemes other than by means of the provision of the CE scheme. If they paid their employees more, the Department would step in and stop them trading recklessly. The Department effectively acts as a shadow director for many CE schemes.
