Private Limited Company

Private Limited Company registration is a widely chosen method for commencing a business in India. A private limited company is an enterprise owned privately by stakeholders. In this arrangement, the liability is limited, resembling that of a partnership, where shareholders' liability is confined to the extent of their shareholding.

A company structure provides various advantages that make it an attractive choice for startups and ambitious businesses. These benefits include limited liability protection for founders, a distinct legal entity, enhanced credibility, and easier access to external funding. To acquire these benefits, companies must be registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) under the Companies Act of 2013.
