A Private Limited Company is the most trusted and preferred business structure for startups, family businesses, professionals, and SMEs in India. It offers limited liability to owners, a separate legal identity, perpetual existence, and credibility with banks, investors, and customers — making it the ideal foundation for serious, scalable business.
Registered under the Companies Act, 2013 and regulated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), a Private Limited Company can raise equity, onboard investors, attract talent through ESOPs, and build long-term brand value. For any business planning to raise funding, hire teams, or scale operations, this is the structure of choice.
We help entrepreneurs incorporate their Private Limited Company end-to-end — from name approval and DIN/DSC to MCA filing, PAN, TAN, GST, and post-incorporation compliance — ensuring a smooth, fully compliant, and investor-ready setup.

FAQs on Private Limited Company Registration
What is a Private Limited Company?

How many directors and shareholders are required?
A Private Limited Company requires a minimum of 2 directors and 2 shareholders (who can be the same persons), with a maximum limit of 200 shareholders. At least one director must be a resident of India.
Is there any minimum capital requirement?

How long does it take to incorporate?
With complete documents and smooth name approval, incorporation is typically completed within 7 to 10 working days through the SPICe+ integrated process on the MCA portal.
Can foreign nationals or NRIs be directors or shareholders?
Yes. Foreign nationals and NRIs can be directors and shareholders in a Private Limited Company, subject to FEMA and FDI guidelines. However, at least one director must be a resident of India.
Can I register my home address as the registered office?
Yes. A residential address can be used as the registered office, provided a valid NOC from the owner and utility bill are submitted. Many startups begin from a home address and update it when they move to a commercial space.
What is the difference between a Private Limited Company and LLP?
A Private Limited Company is ideal for businesses planning to raise equity funding or issue ESOPs, as it offers share-based ownership. An LLP is simpler and more tax-efficient for professional or service firms not looking to raise external equity. Pvt Ltd is more investor-friendly, while LLP has fewer compliance requirements.
What compliances are required after incorporation?
Key compliances include appointing the first auditor, filing INC-20A, conducting board meetings and AGM, filing annual returns (AOC-4, MGT-7), income tax returns, and DIR-3 KYC. Listed and regulated entities may have additional obligations.
