Why Convert from Private Limited to Public Limited?

Access to Capital:
The primary advantage of conversion is the ability to
raise funds by issuing shares to the public. This can
help in launching new projects, expanding into new
markets, or meeting working capital requirements.
2
Increased Credibility:
Public limited companies enjoy higher credibility in the
market. Being listed as a public company builds trust
with customers, investors, and partners.

Public companies often provide stock options as part of
employee benefits, which helps attract and retain top
talent.
How to Convert a Private Limited Company to a Public Limited Company
Converting a private limited company into a public limited

transformation allows companies to raise capital by issuing
shares to the public, boosting their credibility and scaling
operations. Whether it’s to attract investments, enhance your
market presence, or expand business operations, understanding
the process and benefits of conversion is essential.
Key Considerations
