The Benefits of Company Registration
As the economy’s picked up over the past few years, so has the Company.
Here are a few biggest benefits of registering a company instead of a Proprietorship Firm or Partnership Firm:
Limited Liability:
The directors and shareholders of the company have no personal liability towards of any unfortunate event happens like, business loss, failure in the business.
Hence Registered Company protects the personal assets of the directors, shareholders in the unfortunate event which is not in control with anybody.
Legal Entity status or Recognition:
A registered company like a Private Limited Company or Limited Company, LLP, Nidhi company, exists separate from its directors or Members, Registered company status enables you to take more seriously than other unorganized business-like firms.
Operations of a Registered company give more confidence to the suppliers, Bankers who will prefer to dealing with Registered companies.
Easy to attract to a talented workforce and achieve strategic goals through employees by designating a wide range of positions like Executive directors, operation directors etc.
The existence of the company remains forever:
One of the popular sayings is that Directors or promoters may come and go, but the existence of the Company remains forever. it has separate legal existence from the eyes of the law.
Once a company is registered it remains alive, until it’s closed down as per the Companies Act, 2013.
The death of the promoters, directors does not affect the continuity of the company.
Big Project cost and risk factors:
For businesses that need high capital outflow, usage of hi-tech systems, wherein financial stake is high, Banks and financial institutes prefer the Registered company and insist to have a legally registered company.
Easy Transferability:
Directors and management of the company can easily transfer their stake from one to another, This will saves time, the money for the business owners, and saves a big amount of stamp duty.
Dual Relationship:
In the company form of business, a separate agreement can be executed between the company and its Directors, promoters, employees, etc.
It’s also possible, the promoter becomes an employee of the company and draws salary.
The person at the same time become, Shareholder, director, employee, a creditor of the company example:
As a director, he can draw salary from the company
As a shareholder, he can draw dividends from the company
As a landlord/lesser, receive rent from a company

As a supplier, he supplies the goods or services from his family business to the company.
Borrowing capacity:
As a company, it has better avenues for borrowing of funds to the business. It can issue Debenture certificates, private placement, issue of preference share capital etc. accept deposits from the public, even it borrow money from banks, as they prefer to lend to Companies rather than Firms and proprietorships.
Taxation benefits:
Sole proprietorship or Firm pay income tax. Companies pay corporate tax on there taxable Profit, the taxable profit arrived after offsetting all types of allowances, expenses, which reduces the net taxable income drastically and the result is a minimal or lower tax on the company Net profit.
Raising money from the Public:
Limited companies can raise large amounts of capital from the public by issue of shares and deposits. Private companies raise capital from issue of debentures, private placement etc.
