Public Limited Company Registration

A Public Limited Company is an ideal business structure for large-scale enterprises planning to raise capital from the public. It provides limited liability to shareholders and is governed under the Companies Act, 2013. If you want to list your company on the stock exchange or attract large investments, Public Limited Company registration is the right choice.

What is a Public Limited Company?

A Public Limited Company is a business entity that can raise capital by issuing shares to the public through an Initial Public Offering (IPO). It enjoys a separate legal identity, meaning the company’s liabilities are not directly linked to its shareholders. A Public Limited Company must have a minimum of three directors and seven shareholders, with no limit on the maximum number of shareholders.
