What is a Private Limited Company?

APrivate Limited Company is formed lawfully with Limited Liability or Legal Protection for its shareholders but that places restrictions on its ownership.

A Private Limited Company is a company which is privately held for small businesses. The liability of the members of a Private Limited Company is limited to the number of shares respectively held by them. Shares of Private Limited Company cannot be publicly traded.

Private Limited Company is the simplest and a very popular form of Business Registration in India. It can be registered with a minimum of two people. Limited liability protection to shareholders, ability to raise equity funds, separate legal entity status make it the most recommended type of business entity for millions of small and medium-sized businesses that are family-owned or professionally managed.

Minimum Requirement for Private Limited Company

A minimum number oftwo Directorswho are adults.
One of the Directors of a Private Limited Company has to be an Indian Citizen andIndian Resident.
The other Director(s) can be a Foreign National.
It is also required to havetwo Shareholders of a company.
The Shareholders can be natural persons or artificial legal entities.

Private Limited Company Registration Process

Registration of a Pvt Ltd company in India is complete an online process. Recentlythe MCA has replaced the earlier SPICe form with a new web form called SPICe+ (SPICe Plus). Hence, Incorporating a Private Limited Company is even easier now.

Now you can Incorporate a Private Limited Company, with a single application for Name Reservation, Incorporation, DIN Allotment, Mandatory issue of PAN, TAN, EPFO, ESIC, Profession Tax (Maharashtra), and Opening of Bank Account.

SPICe+ is divided into two parts as follows:

1. Part A: Apply for the Name Reservation of the company in Part A of the form Spice+. It can be used for taking the name approval of the proposed Company and also for filing Company Registration in one go.

2. Part B: In Part B of the Form Spice+, apply for the following services:

Incorporation
DIN(Director’s Identification Number) allotment
Mandatory issue ofPAN
Compulsory issue of TAN
Issue of EPFO registration
Mandatory issue ofESIC registration
Issue of Profession Tax Registration(Maharashtra)
Mandatory Opening of Bank Account for the Company and
Allotment ofGSTIN (if so applied for)

Advantages of Private Limited Company

No Minimum Capital

No minimum capital is required to form a Private Limited Company. A Private Limited Company can be registered with a mere sum of Rs. 10,000 as total Authorized Share capital.

Separate Legal Entity

A Private Limited Company is a separate legal identity in the court of the law, meaning assets and liabilities of the business are not the same as the assets and liabilities of the Directors. Both are counted as different. A Private Limited Company separates Management and Ownership and thus, managers are responsible for the company’s success and are also answerable for the company’s loss.

Limited Liability

If the company undergoes financial distress because of whatsoever reasons, the personal assets of members will not be used to pay the debts of the Company as the liability of the person is limited.

For e.g. If a Private Limited Company takes any loan and is unable to pay it off, the members are responsible to pay only that much how much they own towards their own shareholding i.e. the unpaid share value. This means, if you have no balance payable towards the number of shares you hold, you are not payable towards any debt payable by the company even if the debt/credit amount remains unpaid.

Fund Raising

A Private Limited Company in India is the only form of business except for Public Limited Companies that can raise funds from Venture Capitalists or Angel investors.

Free & Easy transfer of shares

Shares of a company limited by shares are transferable by a shareholder to any other person. The transfer is easy as compared to the transfer of an interest in a business run as a proprietary concern or a partnership. Filing and signing a share transfer form and handing over the buyer of the shares along with a share certificate can easily transfer shares.

Uninterrupted existence

A Private Limited Company has ‘Perpetual Succession’, which is continued or uninterrupted existence until it is legally dissolved. A company, being a separate legal person, is unaffected by the death or other departure of any member but continues to be in existence irrespective of the changes in membership. ‘Perpetual Succession’ is one of the most important characteristics of a company.

FDI Allowed

In a Private Limited Company, 100% Foreign Direct Investment is allowed that means any foreign entity or foreign person can directly invest in a Private Limited Company.

Builds Credibility

The particulars of the company are available on a public database. This improves the credibility of the company as it makes it easy to authenticate the details

Disadvantages of a Private Limited Company

One of the main disadvantages of a Private Limited Company is that it restricts the transferability of shares by its articles.
In a Private Limited Company the number of shareholders, in any case, cannot exceed 50.
Another disadvantage of a Private Limited Company is that it cannot issue prospectus to the public.
In the stock exchange shares cannot be quoted.

Begining day one the focus was on how to help the customer i.e me. Be it the way the process is explained or timely updates on the process or how to be on time in ensuring the documentation is done, the team was very professional. I would definitely recommend this team and definitely use their service again and again.
