Post Re: What is a Private Limited Company?
Hi

A private company limited by shares, usually called a private limited company (Ltd) (though this can theoretically also refer to a private company limited by guarantee), is a type of company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, Scotland, that of certain Commonwealth countries and the Republic of Ireland. It has shareholders with limited liability and its shares may not be offered to the general public, unlike those of a public limited company (plc).

"Limited by shares" means that the company has shareholders, and that the liability of the shareholders to creditors of the company is limited to the capital originally invested, i.e. the nominal value of the shares and any premium paid in return for the issue of the shares by the company. A shareholder's personal assets are thereby protected in the event of the company's insolvency, but money invested in the company will be lost.

A limited company may be "private" or "public". A private limited company's disclosure requirements are lighter, but for this reason its shares may not be offered to the general public (and therefore cannot be traded on a public stock exchange). This is the major distinguishing feature between a private limited company and a public limited company. Most companies, particularly small companies, are private.

Private companies limited by shares are usually required to have the suffix "Limited" (often written "Ltd" or "Ltd.") or "Incorporated" ("Inc.") as part of their name, though the latter cannot be used in the UK or the Republic of Ireland; companies set up by Act of Parliament may not have Limited in their name

Hi

A limited liability company (LLC) or, more rarely, a company with limited liability (WLL), is a flexible form of business enterprise that blends elements of partnership and corporate structures. ..

Thanks

Hello,

A Private limited company is Type of incorporated firm which (like a public firm) offers limited liability to its shareholders but which (unlike a public firm) places certain restrictions on its ownership. These restrictions are spelled out in the firm's articles of association or bylaws and are meant to prevent any hostile takeover attempt. The major restriction are: (1) stockholders (shareholders) cannot sell or transfer their shares without offering them first to the other stockholders for purchase, (2) stockholders cannot offer their shares or debentures to the general public over a stock-exchange, (3) number of stockholders cannot exceed a fixed figure (commonly 50).

Thanks,
Nadia
