Overview

What is a Private Limited Company?

A Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd) is a type of company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013. It is the most popular form of business structure in India for startups, small businesses, and medium enterprises. The shares of a private limited company cannot be offered to the general public, and there is a restriction on the transfer of shares.

The liability of the shareholders is limited to the extent of their shareholding, meaning their personal assets are protected in case the company faces financial difficulties. The company has a separate legal identity, which means it can own property, enter into contracts, and sue or be sued in its own name.

A Pvt Ltd company is preferred by entrepreneurs seeking investment from venture capitalists, angel investors, and private equity firms, as it allows easy equity transfer and structured ownership.
