Public Limited Company
In general, a public limited company is the most favourable choice but where an entity intends to raise public funds in India by listing through stock exchanges then a registration, as a public limited company is mandatory. A public limited company is usually established to generate capital from external sources, i.e. general public and global expansion, etc. and is a suitable choice for large scale businesses.
A public limited company also provides the benefit of having a separate legal entity and distinct identity from its members and as the name suggests, the liability of its members is limited to the extent of property owned by that entity.
