A Private Limited Company is an ideal business structure for small and medium enterprises in India. As per the Companies Act, 2013, the maximum number of members in a Private Limited Company cannot exceed 200.
Once incorporated, the company acquires a separate legal identity, distinct from its shareholders and directors. This ensures perpetual succession, meaning the company continues to exist even in the event of death or exit of its members.
