Private Limited Company Registration

The most trusted structure for startups & growing businesses.

About Private Limited Company Registration

A Private Limited Company is the most popular business structure in India for startups and growing enterprises. Registered under the Companies Act, 2013 and governed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), it gives your business a separate legal identity, limited liability protection for shareholders, and strong credibility with banks and investors. A Pvt Ltd company needs a minimum of two directors and two shareholders, with no minimum paid-up capital requirement. It is the preferred choice if you plan to raise equity funding, onboard co-founders, or scale operations, because ownership can be transferred through shares and the company continues to exist independently of its members.

Who needs this

Founders raising funding, teams with 2+ partners, and businesses that want a scalable, investor-ready structure.
