Overview
What is a Private Limited Company?
A Private Limited Company is the most popular business structure in India, governed by the Companies Act 2013. It is a separate legal entity where the liability of shareholders is limited to their unpaid share capital. The company name must end with 'Private Limited' or 'Pvt. Ltd.'
Entrepreneurs, startups, and growing businesses prefer Pvt Ltd companies because they can raise equity funding from angel investors, VCs, and private equity funds. The structure offers credibility, clear ownership through shares, and strong investor confidence.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before applying for Private Limited Company Registration.
What is the difference between Pvt Ltd and LLP?
A Pvt Ltd company has shareholders and directors, issues shares, and can raise equity investment. An LLP has designated partners, no concept of shares, and is better suited for professional services firms. Pvt Ltd has higher compliance but greater fundraising capability.
Can a single person start a Private Limited Company?
No. A Private Limited Company requires a minimum of 2 shareholders and 2 directors. If you want a single-person company, you should register as a One Person Company (OPC) instead.
Do I need a physical office to register a Pvt Ltd company?
You need a registered office address in India. It can be a residential address, rented commercial space, or virtual office. You need to provide utility bills and an NOC from the property owner.
What is the annual compliance cost for a Pvt Ltd company?
Annual compliance for a Pvt Ltd company typically costs ₹8,000–₹25,000 per year depending on turnover and complexity. This covers statutory audit, ROC filings (AOC-4, MGT-7), DIR-3 KYC, and ITR filing.
Can I convert my existing proprietorship to a Pvt Ltd?
Yes. You can convert a sole proprietorship, partnership firm, or LLP into a Private Limited Company. We handle the entire conversion process including asset transfer, PAN change, and bank account migration.
