In India, it is always beneficial to start a business with Pvt ltd registration. If you start a business or a start-up, this option will give you better opportunities for your growth. A private limited company is consolidated.

We need the company’s act of 2013, and it is represented and controlled by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). A private company is a duly registered corporate framework that enables businesses to establish their separate legal identity, which is different from its owners. This has major key advantages like safeguarding personal assets and the power to contract in its own name.

A Pvt. Ltd. Company means that that company has been incorporated as a private institution. The details of which are mentioned in section 2 (68) of the companies act of 2013. The maximum number of 200 members is required to be a private company apart from its present and former employees.

As a mandatory practice for its recognition, the private company has to add the term Pvt. Ltd. as a suffix to its name. Also, a private company must compulsorily have two directors and two members. A private company has the power to issue debentures to as many as the number of people it wants.

There are also restrictions on the transfer of shares by a Pvt ltd company. However, the pre-emption clause says that if a member of the private company wants to transfer his or her share, then the air is offered to an existing company member first. If the existing members do not want to take that share, then such shares are open to outside people unless any other condition is stated in the article.

The company director will decide the price of such transferred shares according to the pricing formula mentioned in the company article.

Just like LLP, a private company is a limited liability framework. Start-ups have certain key advantages of their own. The share capital defines the ownership of a private company. The share capital is easy to transfer in a private company as compared to the ownership transfer in LLP. Ownership and management are differentiated in a private company. This is the main reason by angel investors' banks, and VCs prefer private companies over LLPS for providing equity funds and debts.
