What is a Private Limited Company?

A Private Limited Company (PLC) is a business structure that provides limited liability to its shareholders, a separate legal entity from its owners, and the ability to raise capital through private means. Key characteristics include:

  • Separate Legal Entity: PLCs are distinct from their owners and continue to exist independently of changes in ownership.
  • Limited Liability: Shareholders are not personally liable for company debts beyond their investment.
  • Perpetual Succession: The company existence is not affected by changes in ownership or management.

Private Limited Companies are governed by the Companies Act and are ideal for those seeking a structured business model with limited liability and growth potential.
