What Is a Private Limited Company?
A Private Limited Company is the most popular corporate legal entity in India. It is held by a few individuals privately. It is a separate legal entity from its directors and shareholders, offering limited liability protection to its members.
It is the preferred structure for startups and growing businesses because it allows for easy external funding (VC/Angel Investment) and offers high credibility.
