What is Private Limited Company Registration?
A Private Limited Company (Pvt. Ltd.) is the most preferred business structure for startups and growing businesses in India. It is governed by the Companies Act, 2013, and regulated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
It limits the liability of shareholders to their shareholding amount, allows easy fundraising, and gives the business a separate legal identity — making it the ideal choice for entrepreneurs looking to scale.
With PrimeWealth Advisory, we handle the entire registration process — from DSC/DIN issuance to Certificate of Incorporation — while you focus on building your business.
