Get Start


Private limited companies are popular, yet every private limited company aspires to become public at some time in order to enhance scalability.

A private company can be converted to a public company by meeting the following criteria:
  • By passing a special resolution in accordance with Section 14, it can change its articles, therefore removing the three constraints of a private company.
  • By passing a special resolution in accordance with Section 13, it changed its name, removing the word "Private" from its name.
  • Furthermore, if the number of members is less than 7, measures should be taken to increase the number of members to at least seven, and the number of directors to at least 3 if there are only 2 directors.
The company goes public on the date when the Special Resolution under Section 14 is passed. However, the change in its name by removing the term "Private" becomes effective only when the Registrar of Companies issues a new certificate of incorporation.
