Registering your business under the right legal structure is crucial for growth, compliance, and operations. Below are the most common types of company registration options available in India:
A private limited company is a separate legal entity that can own assets, enter contracts, and take legal action in its own name. Its shareholders and directors have limited liability, meaning creditors cannot claim personal assets for the company’s losses.
Ideal for solo entrepreneurs wanting limited liability. Only one director and one shareholder required. Offers flexibility with complete control.
Combines the benefits of a partnership and a company. Partners have limited liability protection. Suitable for small to medium-sized professional businesses.
Formed with two or more partners who share profits and liabilities. Registered under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. Best for small businesses with shared responsibilities.
Single-owner business with full control and unlimited liability. Easiest and least expensive to register. Ideal for small, local businesses and freelancers.
Suitable for large-scale businesses that plan to raise capital from the public. Requires a minimum of 3 directors and 7 shareholders. Subject to more compliance and transparency.
