Overview of Public Ltd Company

A public limited company provides limited liability to its owners and management team. A public limited company can raise capital by selling shares to investors, which is not the case for a private limited company. To establish a public limited company, at least three directors are required, and there is no maximum limit on the number of members. However, it is subject to stricter regulatory requirements than a private limited company.

A public limited company has many similarities to a private limited company, but it also offers additional benefits such as ease of transferability, borrowing capacity, limited liability, and perpetual existence. It is registered under the Companies Act, 2013, like any other company in India.

A public company enjoys the advantages of limited liability for its members and has the right to sell its shares to raise capital. A public limited company must have a minimum of three directors and at least seven members, with no limit on the maximum number of members. It is subject to more rigorous rules and regulations than a private limited company. It offers all the benefits of a private limited company, including greater transparency and ease of ownership and shareholding transfer. Differences between a public limited company and a private limited company include title, shares, composition, management, and directors, among others.
 

Advantages of Public Limited Company

  1. Attractive to investors: Public Limited Companies are preferred by investors and other parties due to their well-structured and transparent business structure. If someone wants to raise capital for their business and sell ownership, this type of company is a good option.
  2. Best for heavy investment: Public Limited Company is the most suitable business structure for serious investment.
  3. Easy to raise funds and loans: Public Limited Company can list itself on various stock exchanges in India and raise capital from the stock market and interested investors. It can also raise minimum paid-up capital for public companies, bank loans, and institutional investors.
  4. Perpetual existence: A Public Limited Company has "perpetual succession," which means it has uninterrupted existence until legally dissolved. It continues to exist regardless of changes in membership or the departure or death of any member as it is a separate legal person.
  5. Easy transfer of shares: Exiting from a public company limited by guarantee is easy, as only shares of the company have to be transferred to the investor or purchaser along with share transfer forms.
  6. Property ownership: A Public Limited Company is a juristic person that can own, acquire, enjoy, and dispose of properties in its own name. Shareholders do not have the right to claim the company's property as long as it is a going concern.
