Overview
A private limited company is the structure most Indian founders choose when they plan to raise external capital or bring on co-founders and employees with equity. It is a separate legal entity with limited liability for its shareholders, perpetual succession, and a clear cap table that investors recognise.
CapEasy handles the full incorporation through the MCA’s SPICe+ process — from name reservation to the certificate of incorporation, PAN and TAN — so you start with a clean, compliant foundation rather than fixing avoidable mistakes later.
