Public Limited Company

End-to-end public limited company registration in Goa under the Companies Act 2013 — the structure built to raise capital from the public and scale — with SPICe+ incorporation, the required directors and shareholders, and a governance setup ready for growth or listing.

Overview

Public Limited Company, handled end to end.

A public limited company is designed for businesses that intend to raise capital from the public and potentially list on a stock exchange. It needs a minimum of three directors and seven shareholders, has no upper limit on members, and offers shares that are freely transferable.

It carries heavier compliance than a private company, but in return it can access public funds and offers the highest level of structure and credibility. We incorporate it via SPICe+, set up the board and statutory framework, and prepare you for the additional governance that public status requires. For smaller ventures, a private limited company is often the better start.

Frequently asked questions

Public Limited Company, answered.

What is a public limited company?

A public limited company is a company registered under the Companies Act 2013 that can offer its shares to the public and may be listed on a stock exchange. It has limited liability, freely transferable shares, and is suited to large businesses seeking public capital.

How many directors and shareholders are required?

A public limited company needs a minimum of three directors and seven shareholders, with no maximum limit on members. At least one director must meet the resident-director requirement. We help you assemble the required board and members.

How is it different from a private limited company?

A public company can raise capital from the public and has no cap on members, but faces stricter compliance and disclosure. A private company is limited to 200 members, cannot invite public investment, and is simpler to run. The choice depends on your capital-raising plans.

Does a public company have to be listed?

No. A public limited company can be unlisted; listing on a stock exchange is a separate, later step subject to SEBI and exchange requirements. Many public companies remain unlisted while retaining the ability to raise capital more widely than a private company.

What compliance does a public company face?

Public companies face higher governance and disclosure requirements — board composition rules, committees, more rigorous filings and, if listed, SEBI compliance. We set up the framework and handle the ongoing obligations.

Is there a minimum capital requirement?

There is no longer a prescribed minimum paid-up capital for a public company; you set capital appropriate to your plans. We advise on a suitable authorised and paid-up capital for your fund-raising strategy.
