Public Limited Company structured for scale, compliant from day one.

End-to-end Public Limited Company registration in Mumbai and across India — name reservation, MOA and AOA for public company, minimum director and shareholder setup, SPICe+ filing, Certificate of Incorporation, statutory compliance framework, and pre-IPO advisory.

A Public Limited Company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013, can offer shares to the public and list on a recognised stock exchange. It requires minimum 3 directors, 7 shareholders, and Rs 5 lakh paid-up capital. Shares are freely transferable with no restriction on the number of shareholders.

A Public Limited Company faces significantly higher regulatory scrutiny — mandatory company secretary, audit and nomination committees, SEBI LODR compliance if listed, secretarial audit, and public annual disclosures. It is the structure of choice for companies targeting IPOs, public fundraising, or listing on BSE SME or NSE Emerge.

Our public company registration covers name reservation, director and shareholder structure advisory, MOA and AOA drafting, SPICe+ filing, COI receipt, company secretary appointment advisory, statutory committee constitution, ROC compliance calendar, and pre-listing advisory for BSE SME, NSE Emerge, or main board IPO planning.
