A Private Limited Company is a type of business entity which is privately held. Here are some potential reasons for and against forming such a company:
WHY:
Limited Liability: The shareholders’ liability is limited to their shares. This means personal assets of the shareholders are not at risk.
Perpetual Succession: The company continues to exist even if the owner passes away or leaves the business.
Separate Legal Entity: The company is considered a separate legal entity, distinct from its owners.
WHY NOT:
Regulatory Requirements: There may be more regulatory requirements and administrative work.
Less Flexibility: Decision-making might be slower due to the need for shareholder and director approval.
Profit Distribution: Profits must be distributed as dividends among shareholders, which may be subject to tax.
Please note that the decision to form a Private Limited Company should be based on individual business needs and legal advice.
