Overview
A Private Limited Company is the most preferred business structure in India for startups, founders and growing businesses that plan to scale, raise external funding or onboard partners. It is a separate legal entity registered under the Companies Act, 2013, distinct from its owners, with its own PAN, bank account and perpetual existence.
The biggest advantage is limited liability — the personal assets of shareholders are protected, and their risk is limited only to the capital they invest. The structure also brings credibility with banks, vendors and investors, and is the only Indian structure that venture-capital and angel investors typically fund through equity.
CorpRaasta handles the entire incorporation for you — Digital Signature Certificates (DSC), Director Identification Numbers (DIN), name reservation, drafting the MOA and AOA, filing the SPICe+ form, and obtaining your Certificate of Incorporation along with PAN and TAN — so you receive a ready-to-operate company.
What is Private Limited Company?
A Private Limited Company is a privately held company limited by shares, with a separate legal identity, limited liability for its shareholders, and a minimum of two shareholders and two directors. It restricts the transfer of shares and cannot invite the public to subscribe to its securities.
Why it matters
Choosing the right structure at the start saves you from costly conversions later. A Private Limited Company is the only common Indian structure that investors fund through equity, so if you plan to raise capital, build a team with ESOPs or scale seriously, this is usually the structure to start with.
