What’s the difference between public limited companies and private limited companies?
A company’s legal structure is typically determined by its commercial needs: both public limited companies (PLC) and private limited companies have their pros and cons. You will need to set up a PLC if you want to be able to offer shares in your company to the public, something that can help you raise capital via external investment. We do not currently form PLCs, but you can first form a private limited company with us and then when you’re ready, apply to make the switch. Learn more about public limited companies. Shareholders in private limited companies are typically founders, directors, or family members. In companies like these, no stock is offered to the general public. This is typically the sort of company most start ups begin life as.
