 Conclusion

The most important benefit of registering a private limited company is that it gives a position of a separate legal entity that a partnership firm does not have. In case of a partnership, a partner’s personal assets are attached and they would be held personally answerable for each and every debt or liability that the business suffers. Henceforth, with the growth of the business, if partners want to increase their trustworthiness and put the limited liability on its members, it is more fortunate for the partners to convert their partnership into a private limited company. Even though statutory compliance for a private limited company is greater than those of the firm, it gives the business more chances to flourish and magnify its reach.
