Public Limited Company Registration
Incorporation of a public limited company, for businesses that plan to raise money widely or list on a stock exchange.
Who needs it
Promoters with at least seven shareholders and three directors, typically building a larger business that will invite investment from the public or list later.
A public limited company can offer its shares to the public and transfer them freely, which makes it the structure for companies that intend to raise capital at scale or list. In return, the Companies Act asks for more: more members and directors, and stricter rules on meetings, disclosures and approvals.
What we handle
- Name approval and drafting of the memorandum and articles
- Digital signatures and DINs for the directors
- The SPICe+ incorporation filing with PAN, TAN and registrations
- A first-year compliance plan: board meetings, statutory registers, auditor appointment and the commencement-of-business declaration
Private or public?
Most businesses start as private companies and convert later. We explain the difference in compliance before you decide, so you choose the structure for where the business is going, not where it is today.
Documents to keep ready
- PAN, Aadhaar and address proof of all directors and shareholders
- Proof of the registered office
- Photographs and digital signatures of the directors
- Details of the proposed share capital and shareholding
