Overview of Public Limited Company Registration
A Public Limited Company (PLC) is one of the most recognized forms of business entities in India, preferred by medium and large-scale businesses seeking to raise funds from the public. Unlike a Private Limited Company, a PLC can issue shares to the general public through an IPO (Initial Public Offering) and list them on recognized stock exchanges such as NSE and BSE. This makes it highly transparent and ideal for businesses with ambitious growth plans.
A Public Limited Company requires a minimum of 7 shareholders and 3 directors. There is no cap on the maximum number of shareholders, offering greater flexibility in ownership. With its operations distinctly separated from ownership, a Public Limited Company provides greater credibility, access to capital, and borrowing power compared to other business structures.
Key Advantages of a Public Limited Company
Separate Legal Entity – distinct from shareholders, capable of owning property and contracts.
Perpetual Existence – unaffected by death or resignation of members.
Easy Share Transferability – smooth succession and investment opportunities.
Enhanced Borrowing Capacity – easier access to bank loans and public deposits.
