What is a Private Limited Company (Pvt.)

A Company is an association of persons who share common goals. Moreover, the owners of the company pool their resources to achieve their common goals. A private limited company is a closely held company with restrictions to issue shares to the public. Thus, it cannot go for an IPO or list its shares on the stock exchange for public trading of its shares.
This type of company offers limited liability for its shareholders with certain restrictions placed on the ownership. An LLP has partners, who own and manage the business. Whereas in private limited company registration, directors may be different from shareholders.
