Understanding Pvt. Ltd. Co. Model
A Pvt. Ltd. Co. is essentially a limited liability entity which is governed by the MCA, Companies Act of 2013, and the Companies Incorporation Rules of 2014 for the registration purposes. Pvt. Ltd. Co. is the most popular legal structure for businesses, thanks to its easy to incorporate mechanism.
Key factors to consider the Pvt. Ltd. Co. mode, include limited liability protection to shareholders; ability to raise the equity funds; separate legal entity status; and the continuous existence. All these and much more make Pvt. Ltd. Co. the most recommended form of business for numerous small, medium, and even large sized businesses.
To register a private limited company, you simply need to register all the directors (a minimum of two and a maximum of 15) with the MCA; register the name of the new company; and submit the company incorporation documents, including MoA and AoA. Also, minimum of two shareholders are required to register a private limited company.
Quick Guiding Notes:
- A natural person can be a director as well as a shareholder, while a corporate legal entity can only be a shareholder.
- Foreign nationals, foreign corporate entities, or NRIs can become Directors and / or Shareholders of a Company with Foreign Direct Investment, which makes it the preferred choice of entity for foreign promoters.
Key-Advantages of a Pvt. Ltd. Co.
Distinct Entity
Pvt. Ltd. Co. is an independent corporate and legal entity established under the Company’s Act, therefore, it enjoys a range of legal capacities, including bank account opening, employees hiring, and taking on equity or obtaining licenses. Also, company’s shareholders and directors have no personal liability for its debts.
Limited Liability
Member’s liability in Pvt. Ltd. Co. is limited to the extent of their investment contributions to the business. Moreover, member’s personal assets are protected from any liability of Pvt. Ltd. Co.
Perpetual Succession
Until a Pvt. Ltd. Co. is legally dissolved, it can enjoy the benefits of an on-going concern, irrespective of the demise or exit of any member (shareholders / directors) and any ownership change.
Property Ownership
Being an artificial person, a Pvt. Ltd. Co. can acquire, own, enjoy, and alienate property (including machinery, building, land, factory, and others) in its name. Also, the members (shareholders / directors) cannot claim any ownership of the company as long as the company enjoys the on-going concern status.
Easy to Transfer
Since Pvt. Ltd. Co. holds a separate identity from that of its members, therefore, the ownership can easily be transferred, just by transferring shares with the consent of other shareholders.
Financing Ease
Banking and Financial Institutions prefer to finance a Pvt. Ltd. Co., and it can raise equity funds, issue equity shares, preference shares, debentures, and can even accept deposits with RBI’s permission.
