Private Limited Company
Private Limited Company
A Private Limited Company is a privately held business entity offering limited liability to its shareholders, restricting public share transfers, and providing a scalable corporate structure that is highly preferred by startups raising external venture capital.
Where it appears in practice
It is essential when founders plan to raise external equity funding, offer Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), or require a robust corporate structure for long-term scalability and exit strategies.
A worked example
A tech startup registers as a Private Limited Company with an authorized capital of ₹10 Lakhs [VERIFY]. This structure allows them to issue equity shares to angel investors while keeping the founders' personal assets entirely separate from the company's liabilities.
