Private Limited to Public Company
Private Limited to Public Company
A growing business often reaches a point where it needs wider ownership, stronger governance and the freedom to raise capital at scale. Converting a Private Limited Company into a Public Company opens those doors. It allows the company to issue shares to the public (listed or unlisted), expand its board, and operate with a higher level of transparency. The conversion requires careful planning, shareholder approvals and detailed MCA filings to ensure the transition is smooth and compliant.
