Must Know Facts about Private Limited Company

Private Limited Companies are the most commonly registered corporate entities in India. It is governed by the MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs), the Companies Act, 2013, and the Companies Incorporation Rules, 2014.

Section 2 (68) of the Companies Act 2013 defines a private company as:

(a) Company with a minimum paid-up share capital as may be prescribed and which, by its articles,

    1. Restricts the right to transfer its shares;
    2. Except for One Person Companies, limits the number of its members to two hundred; and
    3. Prohibits any invitation to the public to subscribe to any company securities.

A private limited company registration is recommended because shareholders have limited liability and ownership restrictions. Most Indian businesses are private limited companies. As of October 2020, India has over 20 lakh registered companies and 12 lakh active ones. Under the Companies Act 2013, the MCA regulates all Indian companies.

Benefits of Private Limited Company

01

Easy Transferability

Since shares represent company ownership, they can be transferred to any legal entity or person in India or abroad, in part or whole. Director replacement ensures business continuity.

02

Limited Liability

Private limited companies protect shareholders from liability. Unexpected liabilities would affect the company, not shareholders.

03

Funding

Shareholders can invest in the company: Angel investors, venture capital, private equity, and hedge funds fund entrepreneurs.

04

Separate Legal Entity

Legally, a private limited company exists forever. Its unique name has PAN, bank accounts, licenses, approvals, contracts, assets, and liabilities.

05

Perpetual Succession

Even if a member dies, goes bankrupt, or becomes insolvent, a private limited company remains legal. The company lives forever.

06

Borrowing Capacity

Since they have more debt options, Indian private limited companies can borrow more than LLPs. The debenture issue and convertible debentures help private limited companies more than OPCs and LLPs. Banks and financial institutions prefer private limited companies over partnerships.

07

Greater credibility

The Registrar of Companies must receive much information from private limited companies about their structure, operations, and finances—public domain. Thus, vendors, lenders, and employees can find company information like authorized capital, directors, registered office, etc. Businesses with this information are more credible.

08

Better governance

Private limited companies are better at creating value because the Companies Act 2013 requires them to follow strict procedures, disclose norms, and comply with legal requirements. To avoid mistakes, experts should register a private limited company with many advantages over other entities.
