What is Private Limited Company ?
A private limited company incorporation refers to the process of legally forming a business entity that is owned by private individuals or corporate entities. In this structure, the liability of the shareholders is limited to the amount of shares they hold in the company. The incorporation process typically involves registering the company with the appropriate government authorities, drafting the company's memorandum and articles of association, and issuing shares to the initial shareholders. Once incorporated, the company becomes a separate legal entity, distinct from its owners, capable of entering into contracts, owning assets, and engaging in business activities.
Advantages of Private Limited Company
Step 1: Protection Against Limited Liability for Directors' Personal AssetsStartups frequently have to take on credit and borrow funds. If a typical partnership failed to make its loan payments, the partners' personal assets and savings would be at threat. A private limited corporation protects the directors' personal assets; only business investments are lost.
Step 2: Increased trust and reputation in the marketThe private limited company is a well-known and often used business structure. Businesses, suppliers, and governmental organizations would rather work with private limited companies than sole proprietorships or traditional partnerships.
