What Is a Public Limited Company & Why It Matters

A Public Limited Company is a corporate structure that can invite the public to subscribe to its shares, offering the widest access to capital, governed by the Companies Act, 2013.

A Public Limited Company is a separate legal entity distinct from its shareholders, offers limited liability protection, allows free transferability of shares, and can list its securities on a recognised stock exchange to raise funds from the public.

TrustMark IP Consultants manages the complete journey — name approval, MOA & AOA drafting, DIN & DSC application, PAN & TAN application, and filing with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) — so your company is incorporated correctly from day one.
