1. Top 7 Reasons – Why Startups Choose Private Limited Company cajdshah.com/blog/top-7-reasons-why-startups-choose-private-limited-company jdshah Starting a business is exciting! But before anything, one big decision startups have to make is: “What type of company should we register?” In India, many startups choose to register as a Private Limited Company — and it’s not just a random choice. There are solid reasons behind it. At JD Shah Associates, we’ve worked with many young founders who’ve shared why they picked this structure. Some were building tech apps, others were into food delivery or digital services — but their reasons were surprisingly similar. So let’s break it down in a simple way. Reason 1: Easy to Raise Funding Why it matters: Most startups dream of growing big — and that often needs money from investors. Private Limited Companies make it easy to bring in investors. How it helps: You can offer equity (shares) in your company to investors. Venture Capitalists and Angel Investors prefer this structure. Banks also trust this model more for business loans.

Real Story: One client shared how their business faced sudden losses during COVID, but their personal savings stayed safe — thanks to the private limited structure. 2/6
