About Private Limited Company

A Private Limited Company is the most widely used structure for startups and growing businesses in India. It is a separate legal entity, so the company owns its assets and carries its own liabilities, while shareholders are liable only up to the unpaid amount on their shares.

NewStarts handles the complete incorporation on the MCA portal: name reservation, Digital Signature Certificates, drafting of the Memorandum and Articles, SPICe+ filing, and the PAN, TAN, GSTIN, EPFO and ESIC registrations that come with it. You get the Certificate of Incorporation and a clear list of what to do in the first 180 days.

What is Private Limited Company?

A Private Limited Company is a company registered under the Companies Act, 2013 with at least two directors and two shareholders (up to 200 members), which restricts the transfer of its shares and cannot invite the public to subscribe to its securities.
