A company is a legal entity that can undertake business operations in its name. It can sue and be sued in its name, own property, and enter into contracts. The Act specifies different types of companies that can be formed in India. The type of company chosen depends on the nature of the business, the number of members, and other factors.

This definition is not enough to understand the meaning of society. For more clarity, let us look at some of the definitions given by the various experts as follows:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lord Justice Lindley:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8220;A company is an association of many persons who contribute money or money to ordinary shares and are engaged in some trade or business and share the profits and losses arising therefrom.&#8221; The ordinary shares invested in this way are denominated in money and are the capital of the company. Members are persons who contribute to it or who are affected by it. The share of the capital to which each partner is entitled is his share. Shares are always transferable, although the right to transfer is often more or less limited.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Prof. Haney:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8220;A corporation is an artificial person created by law, having a separate entity with perpetual succession and a common seal.&#8221; Chief Justice Marshall: &#8220;A corporation is an artificial being, invisible and immaterial, existing only in contemplation of law.&#8221; As it is a mere creation of law, it has only the properties attributed to it by the Charter of its creation, either expressly or incidentally to its very existence.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In simple words, a company is defined as an association of persons formed for the purpose of carrying on a business or an industrial enterprise.

It has a minimum of two and a maximum of 200 members. It is not open to the public for subscription of its shares, and it cannot invite the general public to buy its shares. The liability of the members is limited to the amount of share capital they have invested in the company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Public Limited Company: <\/b>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cagmc.com\/public-company\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Public Limited Company<\/a> is a type of company that is open to the public for subscription of its shares.

Another advantage of companies is that they create jobs. If an individual starts a business and it grows, they most often have to hire employees. This increases the number of jobs available in the country, employs people, reduces unemployment, and brings wealth to the economy. Starting your own company often brings a huge amount of personal satisfaction. This includes following your dreams and passions and leaving a legacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The disadvantages of starting a company include increased financial responsibility, increased legal liability, long working hours, health risks from stress, liability for employees and administrative staff, regulations, and tax issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting a company entails a huge amount of risk, from the time invested and thus the opportunity cost of not doing paid work to financial risk. Failure is of course one of the biggest drawbacks; however, many successful entrepreneurs confirm that their first ventures failed and that this experience was an important learning tool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of the world&#8217;s largest personal fortunes have been amassed by people who have started their own companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"of\"><b>Features of a Company<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following are the features of a Company:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Incorporated Association:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A company is formed when it is registered under the Companies Act (or other equivalent under the Act). To be considered a legal association, a company must meet the requirements regarding documents (MOA, AOA), shareholders, directors, and share capital.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Artificial Legal Entity:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In the eyes of the law, a company is an artificial legal entity that has the right to acquire or dispose of any property, enter into contracts in its own name, and sue and be sued by others.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Separate Legal Entity: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A company has a separate legal entity and is independent of its members or the people who control it. A separate legal entity means that only the company is responsible for paying creditors and being sued for its actions. Individual members cannot be sued for the actions of the company. In the same way, the company is not obliged to pay the personal debts of its members.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Permanent Existence: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike other unregistered business entities, the company is a stable business organization. Its life does not depend on the lives of its shareholders, directors, or employees. Members may come and go, but the society goes on forever.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Common Seal:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A company, which is an artificially created legal entity, uses its common seal (with the company&#8217;s name engraved on it) as a substitute for its signature. Any document bearing the general seal of the company shall be legally binding on the company.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Limited Liability:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A company may be limited by guarantee or limited by shares. In a limited liability company, the shareholders&#8217; liability is limited to the outstanding value of their shares. In a limited liability company, the liability of the partners is limited to the amount they agreed to contribute to the company&#8217;s assets in the event of its liquidation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"act\"><b>Incorporation of Company under Companies Act, 2013<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process of incorporating a company under the Companies Act, 2013 involves several steps.

The name should be unique and should not be similar to the names of existing companies.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Drafting of Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The MOA and AOA are the founding documents of the company and define its objectives, powers, and rules of operation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Filing of Incorporation Documents<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The final step is to file the MOA, AOA, and other documents with the ROC to obtain the Certificate of Incorporation (COI). The COI is a legal document that certifies the formation of the company.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"to\"><b>Compliances to be complied by Companies as per Companies Act, 2013<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once a company is incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013, it is required to comply with several legal and regulatory requirements. These include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Holding of Board Meetings and General Meetings:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A company is required to hold board meetings and general meetings at regular intervals to discuss and decide on various matters related to the company&#8217;s operations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Maintenance of Statutory Registers and Records:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A company is required to maintain several registers and records as per the provisions of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Companies_Act_2013\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Companies Act, 2013<\/a>.
