For Ambitious Businesses Ready for Large-Scale Growth & Public Fundraising

The preferred business structure for large-scale businesses that wish to raise money from the general public, earn a huge market credibility, and expand nationally or internationally is a Public Limited Company (PLC).

It allows you to float shares to the public, enjoy limited liability protection for shareholders, and operate as a legal entity independent of its shareholders and directors under the Companies Act, 2013.

With StartupKare, you can complete online Public Limited Company registration with quick processing that complies with all legislation and comes under the complete guidance of our corporate law experts.

Why go for Public Limited Company Registration?

Registered PLCs have a lot of benefits over the other corporation designs:

Raising Capital Publicly – Through individuals, institutions through IPOs, and the stock market.
Limited Liability – Shareholders are only responsible to the extent of their unpaid share capital.
Separate Legal Entity – The existence of a company is independent from the shareholders and the directors.
