Company Registration

Why Choose a Private Limited Company?

A private limited company is a separate legal entity with limited liability for its shareholders. It is governed by the Companies Act, 2013 and is the most popular business structure for startups in India due to its credibility, ability to raise equity funding, and perpetual existence.

Advantages

  • Limited liability for shareholders — personal assets remain protected.
  • Separate legal identity distinct from owners.
  • Can easily raise funds through equity from investors, VCs, and angel networks.
  • Perpetual succession — unaffected by change in shareholders or directors.
  • Greater credibility with banks, customers, and foreign collaborators.

Minimum Requirements

  • Minimum 2 directors (at least one Indian resident).
  • Minimum 2 shareholders (directors and shareholders can be the same persons).
  • Maximum 200 shareholders.
  • No minimum paid‑up capital requirement.
  • A valid registered office address in India.

Documents Required

  • PAN card and address proof (Aadhaar, Voter ID, Passport) of all directors and shareholders.
  • Passport‑size photographs.
  • Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) of all directors.
  • Director Identification Number (DIN) of directors (obtained during incorporation).
  • Proof of registered office (rent agreement, utility bill, NOC from owner).
  • Proposed name (with suffix "Private Limited" / "Pvt Ltd").

Post‑Incorporation Compliance

A private limited company must hold its first Board Meeting within 30 days of incorporation and file annual returns and financial statements every year. Non‑compliance attracts heavy penalties.
