Public Limited Company(PLC)

A Public Limited Company (PLC) is a business entity that allows unlimited public participation through shareholding and offers high transparency and governance standards. Unlike private limited companies, a public limited company can raise funds from the general public by issuing shares and debentures, subject to SEBI and MCA regulations.

To register a PLC, you need at least 3 directors, 7 shareholders, and a minimum paid-up capital of ₹5 lakhs. The company must comply with additional disclosure, audit, and reporting standards compared to other business forms.

At Startup Bharat, we handle everything from incorporation to post-registration compliance, including:

DSC & DIN for directors
Name reservation
Drafting of MOA & AOA
Filing incorporation forms (SPICe+)
