A private limited company is formed when 1-99 people come together to start a business. They are shareholders who invest money in the company. To form a private limited company, promoters hire a solicitor who prepares legal documents like the memorandum of association, articles of association, and Form A1 that are submitted to the Companies Registration Office. If all documents are in order, a certificate of incorporation is issued, legally forming the company. Advantages include limited liability for shareholders and available capital for expansion, while disadvantages include high setup costs and legal requirements. Once incorporated, a board of directors is elected to run daily operations and report to shareholders annually at the AGM.
