Company Registration 

DOCUMENTS REQUIRED

A Private Limited Company requires a minimum of 2 Directors and 2 Shareholders with one of the Directors being an Indian Resident and Indian Citizen. As a company is a separate legal entity, the company’s members (shareholders or directors) are not personally liable for the company’s liability. A company has ‘perpetual succession,’ which means it will continue to exist until it is legally dissolved. Because a company is a separate legal entity, it is unaffected by the death or other departure of any of its members, and it continues to exist regardless of membership changes.

Advantages of Private Limited Company

Separate Legal Entity

A company is both a legal entity and a juristic person. Therefore, a company has broad legal rights like acquiring property, incurring debts, hiring people, etc.

Limited Liability

A private limited company is a separate legal entity with limited liability provisions.

Fund Raising

A Private Limited Company has multiple options for fundraising. A company can raise funds from shareholders, investors, angels, venture capital funds, private equity funds, foreign funds, NBFCs, banks, and other financial institutions. Only a company can raise debt and equity funds from investors.

Perpetual Succession

Since the company is a separate entity on its own, it is not affected by the death or other departure of any member and therefore there is more business continuity irrespective of the changes in ownership.

Credit Worthiness

Higher Credit worthiness due to stringent compliances and mandatory requirement with the Registrar of Companies. Therefore banks are more than happy to offer loans etc.
