Ltd. can be used to describe corporate status or a corporate style of organization. However, it is a disfavored term or description in the United States--while I believe that some states will allow corporations to use this designation, the vast majority of U.S. corporations are styled/named "incorporated" or "inc." "Limited" or "Ltd." is a more common term in other jurisdications, such as among companies formed in Europe.
