What is a private limited company?

A private limited company is a kind of privately restricted company designed for small businesses. They limit the maximum number of members to 200 and prohibit these members from selling their shares to the general public. They also limit the owner's responsibility to the shares owned.

Types of Private Limited Companies

In India, incorporation of private limited company is one of the most popular business forms. There are several advantages and disadvantages with the private limited companies

 

  • Private Firm Limited by Common Stock (LTD):
  1. Ownership: Shareholders are the owners.
  2. Liability: Investors run the risk of losing just the money they put in.
  3. Profits: Dividends from profits are given to owners.
  • Private Limited Business via Guarantee:
  1. Ownership: Consists of individuals who consent to pay a specific sum in the event that the business fails.
  2. Liability: In the event that the firm winds up, the members' risk is capped at the amount they have committed to contribute.
  3. Profits: Normally given out as opposed to investing it back into the business.
  • Infinite Private Enterprise:
  1. Ownership: Shareholders are the owners.
  2. Liability: Even with personal assets, shareholders are responsible for paying off the company's debts.
  3. Profits: Distributed to stockholders.

Advantages of a Private Limited Company

  • Limited exposure of shareholders' property: despite the impression that private limited firms only reveal a tiny portion of their shareholders' property. It also means that you will only be responsible for the amount of responsibility that corresponds to your ownership stake in the business. Since the shareholders are not held legally responsible for the company's obligations, they do not contribute financially to the firm's risks.
  • Legal Recognition: A privately held limited company is an association separate in relation to its shareholders and participants.This simply means that the firm is in charge of managing its debts and creditors as well as its assets and liabilities. The aforementioned stance appears to let the shareholders off the hook even though they are nonetheless accountable for the company's losses. As a result, the creditors are unable to sue the shareholders or the directors to get the money back on their behalf.
  • There are certain compliance requirements: associated with this area of registration as well. Nevertheless, young and ambitious businesspeople embrace the opportunity to register a private limited company because it provides them with a platform to raise capital, grow, and control their exposure in accordance with Section 122 of the equity method's legal requirements.
  • Reliability: Indian firms are registered under the Firms Act of 2013 with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). The public can see all of the company's documentation via the completely accessible Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) government website. Even more crucially, this section includes information about the establishment of the firm that pertains to all of the directors. Thus, it becomes clear that the private limited company type of corporate structure is more trusted. 
  • Legal Personality: A business has perpetual succession, which implies that it will continue to exist and function until the day it is dissolved. Under the same procedure, a company is described as an organization that is recognized as a separate legal entity whose existence is independent. As a result, a company can continue to exist despite changes in its membership makeup and can do so independently of the passing away or cessation of any of its members.

Disadvantages of a Private Limited Company

Running a private limited company faces specific drawbacks before starting your business. 

 

  • Compliance Burden: These entities need to fulfill mandatory reporting pressures relating to financial accounts and official document submissions and account review procedures.

  • Complex Setup: A higher level of process work together with expense requires management compared to simple organizational structure models.

  • Share Limits: Restricted share transfers; maximum 200 shareholders in India.

  • Public Disclosure: Financial reports are available to the public when a private limited company makes its accounts public, which lowers company privacy.

  • Exit Complexity: Ease of selling or exit stands as a more difficult procedure when compared to additional structure options.

  • Slower Decisions: The participation of directors with shareholders often creates a prolonged decision-making process.
