A Private Limited Company (Pvt ltd Company) is the most common vehicle to carry on business as an entity intending to make a profit and enjoy the benefits of an incorporated entity, particularly limited liability. It is a voluntary association of not less than two and not more than 200 members, whose liability is limited. Their shares cannot be traded on public exchanges and are not issued through an initial public offering. The shareholders hold all the shares of the company privately.
